I have been bothered by the impossible access to the Pilot Fuel Screw on my Mikuni VM26 (Flange Mount) that is on my Orion RXB150 and stock clone on most Hawk based bikes. At least with the bigger bikes this is accessible without taking the carb off.

I ordered a "knob" type adaptor that replaces this screw, but am not thrilled about replacing the screw with a part of unknown quality (only cost $8).

But, looking thru the TboltUSA site, they have a better solution, though more costly. It is still about the same price as the typical wand type screwdriver that is commonly sold...and looks un-wieldy to use.

It is called the "flex-jet" at $35. I am ordering one.

A piece fuel line epoxied to the idle mixture screw. ;)

Maybe so, but it still looks better than the "wand" tool. I think I try the "knob" type first and see how that works. If it does, then this flex thingy will just end up with all the other stuff I have tried that didn't work out (e.g., the TT250 oil cooler). Live and learn.
