Small engine carb tools

[dillymann]

Anyone know where I can get a set of carb adjusting tools? Im located in canada but cant buy them off of amazon.com and cant find them here under 90$. If someone has a set I'd be willing to buy them if you can ship

I got mine from EBay. Check under, Walbro or Zama carburetor tools. I bought two special screwdrivers for less than $20.00.

You'll have to buy them from a International seller on Ebay. Ebay was getting hassled about people selling the tools, so people can no longer sell them on Ebay. Or, try Googling them and see if you can find a website, with them for sale.

This seller says he ships worldwide.

I'm looking for the set, I've only ever needed the splined one so far but it would be good to have the others on hand... No?

It seems cheaper for the set, do I need them all in small engine repair? I used the splined one when I worked for a shop through school but never the "single D", "double D" and "pacman"

Every time a miserable two cycle engine comes into my life one of the first things I do is cut a slot in the top of the HS and LS adjustment screws with a cut off wheel in the DREMEL tool. Most of them you can get to them w/o taking too much apart. Works for me. I only have to find a small screwdriver.

There is no universal kit for small engines. Each manufacturer will have their own proprietary tools. We need more information here. We need the model number and serial number of the equipment you're working on. If it's an Echo, tracking down the carb number is easy if you have the model and serial number.

 

[dillymann]

I cant do that to customers, they'll kill me

I work on everything, echo, poulan, stihl, homelite, weed eater,craftsman, mtd etc.

For the external spline ones, you can take a **** type electrical connector and push/lightly hammer it on top of the adjusting screw until firm, then manually turn it or with a pliers on top until all the way out. Then you can dremel a slot in the top (centered please) and put it back in the hole. This works well. I can't stand the EPA and their stupid rules. Cows fart alot more than all the small engines in the world, much less the few that are misadjusted a few degrees forcing screws that customers can no longer adjust on their one. Ridiculous democratic tree hugger liberal party ****. (and I love trees). I just hope we can somehow manage enough greenhouse gas emissions to fend off the next ice age, because those happen oh every 10,000 years or so and we are about due any time now. Everyone in the EPA currently should be FIRED, then replaced by people with brains. - Paul

 

[slip knot]

I've used some hard plastic tubing to grab the external spline screws. Adapt and improvise.

 

[kelpaso1]

^^^^What Paul said. I use a **** connector jammed into a screwdriver.

Thats what I used when I was in a pinch but what will I do to make the others? I just think the set would be practical dont you?

if you're a legit authorised small engine shop (you mentioned customers) you can order the tools from the manufacturer or a rep... MTD, Husqvarna, possibly even oregon ( have not looked in their catalog for them)

Hey, I have an idea. Let's shove an EPA approved carburetor screwdriver up that cows' ***.

Go to cities in China or India then come back here. I guarantee your opinion will be changed drastically.

Its not like they just randomly started with small 2-cycle engines. This started decades ago for every industry and its a trickle down effect and is finally hitting the lowest common denominator. They don't really want 2-cycle engines to exist period because they're inherently dirty and wasteful to run.

Skin, you've missed my point entirely. They don't want ANY engines to exist or anything else on the planet either that is useful for human production. Legally, anyone now that tries to bring their modified screw equipped engines back to a dealer for service will find those dealers are LEGALLY required to remove and replace those screws with original non-adjustable screws and then charge you for that service. This is called communism or perhaps more accurately totalitarianism. Pure and simple. - Paul

Nevermind...I just caught the part where you can't order from Amazon..sorry.

I bought them myself. I figure at some point I'll need them especially knowing the carb in my blower needs swapped out.

Here's the link again..

So here is my follow up...

These showed up today. They are loose in the box. The handles seem a bit dirty and the shafts have a black finish. They are pretty light weight. I'm not going to say they are garbage but they aren't SO quality either. To be fair, how much abuse would these be getting anyway?

Looks as if you are set to go.

I ordered them 2 days ago while the price was 43.70$ and the price went down last night to 37.90 so I contacted the company and they gave me a refund of the difference
