I've got those too, but my secret weapon for bowl screws is this frankenstein thing I made from a phillips bit stuck in a 1/4" drive socket with a 1/4"-3/8" adapter stuck in the back of the socket all wrapped in tape for finger traction.650ed wrote: Here's the ticket for removing carb bowls without taking carbs off the bike.
