Will this angled screwdriver work to adjust the carb sync screws?

Yes it will - but there is quite a bit of room under there - many people just use a miniature right angle drive with flat bladed bit.

I always pull the tank when I balance the carbs - I like to have a clean around and check all the cables while I'm there. Pulling the tank only takes a couple of moments. Just my way of doing things.

+ 1 Propforward. A simple offset screwdriver works fine. I like to keep tank on though and have a good fan blowing on the engine if I am going to have the engine running a bit. Gloves help to keep fingers from getting burned...

A mini-ratchet with a 2-inch Phillips bit also works fine and is cheaper. That Motion-Pro tool is overkill for this job.
