Looking for a good cheap source for a tool to twiddle the carb mixure screw (the 'D' shaped rascal).
No, I don't want to Dremel a slot in it : )
thanks,

For just under $40.00 you can buy thumb adjustable needles. Ouch.

I don't get it. Why did Triumph go from a really handy knob to requiring a "D" shaped tool to adjust the idle mixture?

I'm only supposing here, but being that they're Keihin carburetors it's probably Keihin's doing, not Triumph's. Also, I've heard that the adjustment is supposedly sealed, kind of like they do with a cheap lawnmower carb. Mine wasn't when I bought my bike new though.
