Carburettor wrench tool

<< < (3/3)

deltarider:
Could that be the Honda one that was criticised by John Wyatt in an article in: Classicbike, Oct 2006, p.66? It's a good article, not only about syncing, but also maintenance and tools in general. I'd like to upload that PDF, but unfortunately it is 13 Mb...
So let me quote John Wyatt:
"In order to adjust the carbs you can use a Honda special tool: carburettor synchronisation wrench part number 07908 4600200 at 24,31 [...] but John says: It'll cost you an arm and a leg and it's rubbish. Just buy a carburettor adjusting tool for a tenner from M&P or any decent bike shop."
His words, not mine. Price was in British pounds (2006).
I myself have always used a 'modified' simple 8X9 mm pipe wrench in combination with an ordinary wrench on top. I hope you can see in the pic, I've put a piece of vinyl tube over it 1 cm from the end where the ordinary wrench goes, to prevent the latter from sliding down the pipe. Inside the pipe wrench a simple straw to narrow it for the appropiate screwdriver. Not super, but it worked for me. You could also weld it.
