    Pilot screw settings?

    I pulled off the carbs on the zxr to give them a clean, and was messing with some screws... errrr pilot screws arrrgh

    Put the carbs back on, set them to the recommended 2 1/2 Turns out and gave the carbs a sync but it doesn't wana idle too well.

    I don't have a suitable tool to be able to get at the pilot screws while its running and probably dont have the know how to be able to adjust them properly.

    Rang up a couple of mechanics but they won't touch it unless they sync the carbs themselves first, check they are clean, etc etc. But I don't really wana spend that much just getting the screws adjusted.

    Anyone have any ideas? Know of any mechanics that might help, a suitable tool, etc or if you have a spare afternoon, i'll bring round a box of whatever you drink

    Ah yeah I had the same problem. There must be a 90 degree drive screwdriver somewhere.

    Pretty sure that Sarge who works for Sulco tools said he had one for sale. No idea if he is still there, but any Sulco rep will be able to get one. AFAIK SnapOn do one too... You have an excuse to purchase a lovely new tool (and they are lovely to use), lucky bugger.
