walbro carb tool

Hey guys I lost my walbro carb adjusting tool for the d style adjustment screws does anybody know where I can get another one my local supply house says they don't sell them anymore and I can't find one anywhere. Thanks guys I once faced the dilemma of making a one-time adjustment and didn't have the tool. I selected a copper crimp terminal that fit the diameter of the screw head and hammed one side flat so it gripped. Got me through the project. You could fashion a more permanent re-useable one from a nut driver if you need it often and there really is no source for the proper tool. I don't know the size of that screw, but on a different carb, some flatten the side of a spent .22 cartridge and say it works well. yeah it is the small walbro diapham carbs HDA-290 for a bunch of hand vibe plate tampers. I guess I will have to fashion a permanent solution. I will give the spent .22 a try If you can find a Snap On dealer or Mac or Matco, they can usually get or have the oddball, dealer only stuff. IT WILL NOT be cheap, but you will have exactly what you need. Good luck. BTW I too had a Walbro issue and used a solderless crimp connector, slide type ( flat blade) and worked pretty well....... I used the plastic part to drive on the stud and the blade I used as a finger grip. thanks Rockytree I will call my Snap-on guy and see what he has got
