JIS Screwdriver for 400/4 Carb slide screws -Trying to source correct fit please
400 Cafe Racer:
Thanks for the update Oddjob, also thanks to Ash and everyone else,
From what I can see from the small space down the inside of the Carb slide, the screw head looks like a P2 size. I have ordered the one I refered to on the link from Ash, since it was the last one in stock and one of the reviewers specifically refered to its usefulness on the Carbs. I will have to wait and see when it arrives, but will be a good addition to the tool kit in any event.
The "T" bar JIS set I have with 6 bits has been really good on all other main casing screws, giving a good solid purchase even on some partly worn heads, with the T bar giving good stability and torque, while turning to tighten or loosen the screws. The shaft is just too bulky to fit inside the Carb slide for the main tapered needle notch adjustment job.
For the benefit of the specific job of getting to and adjusting the Carb needle height, I will give feedback later which may help others.
Cheers ;)
Dennis

Got mine here.

Cheaper than Amazon for the same set.

I bought some German Wera 'Kraftform Comfort' Philips drivers, they fit the screws on a 400/4 perfectly, and are easy to source e.g. eBay.
