4 HSR 42/45 Carbs 7 Years ago  
I got tired of burning my fingers trying to set the air screw on my 45 when the engine is hot. I took the air screw out gorilla glued the air screw and an old idle screw knob off a old junk 40 CV carb into a length of 1/4" fuel line. No more burned fingers and don't have to use a screw driver. OOOPS TOO Big let me down size.

hmmm, interesting idea, but I have very seldom got burnt. Guess I got the right length screwdriver that keep my fingers in the right spot. but now since the carb is set, I only have to change the pilot screw setting twice a yr, summer and winter settings, other than that, never have to touch it

Well the idea didn't work after few twists of the screw the rubber came off the screw so back to square one.
