Does anyone know where I can find a Single D carburetor adjustment tool that can be used with the carbs on the bike? Thanks

the redeye stubby was to big for me. I have xl hands and fingers. Getting around the intake and trying to turn and count revolutions was tough for me. I ended up removing the block and just inserting a screw through it. Like a t handle. Makes it so much easier for me. I can feel it better too.  |

Howdy all; I'm a long-time lurker, wing and honda owner, now a first-time valk owner after lusting for one for 20 yrs. I finally picked up a low-mileage example and have been going thru all the basic tuneup stuff.
To get ready to adjust the pilot screws, I got one of the small D pilot screw adjuster sockets (Motion Pro) and silver soldered it to a blunt end (ie butt-joint) of a length of (HD) clutch cable. This is about 3 mm thick and is a tough but flexible braided cable. I could've use a length of speedo cable, which would be smaller and perhaps easier to use, but couldn't find any lying around.
I cut the cable to about 16" and attached a cheap screwdriver handle to the other end. Using a long 10mm box wrench I passed the socket end thru the box to help manipulate the socket while lining it up to the screws.
It took some fiddling, but was able to adjust all the screws without removing anything but the vacuum plugs and lines on the intake manifolds. I had to route the cable in different locations so it was a generally straight path to the adjuster screw, as the cable won't rotate if it's kinked.
I used the fixed-number-of-turns method rather than to try to adjust the engine while running.
I hope this helps.
Gary

Gary--welcome to the insanity. Why don't you introduce yourself on the general board. Add your location to your profile--guys close to you would be willing to help with any issues. Pics of your bike are always a hit.

I think I am going to remove the block and shorten it. After I shorten it by 1/2 to 3/4 inch, I think I will insert a hex head screw into the end where the block is. |
