Will this pilot tool work?

[bigvalkriefan]

I saw this on ebay. I've never adjusted my pilot screws so i don't have a reference. Do you think this will work? Thanks

mine works

I tell you what, for five bucks it's worth a try. I like the shape of the base. Square so you can get a hold and turn it. I've tried the motion pro and couldn't get enough umph to budge it. Then bought some two hundred dollar 90 degree tool. (lent it out and never got it back)
  For that price, coming from that seller with a good reputation I'm gonna try it. Thanks for posting
 Recommendation... Spray em with penetrating oil and let em sit a spell before adjusting. Mine were stuck the first time I adjusted them. Also if you read the link, you can count the flat faces while turning to get your adjust accurate. I had to guess, or mark my little Motion -Pro with a marker to count the turns. Just ordered it, when I saw it 's from Redeye.tech, it was a no brainer. All good stuff and good folks to deal with. I'll let you know how it works, thanks again for posting

That's why my tool / parts loan list consists of only 1 local fellow Valker.

  +1 on better grip as opposed to my knurled knob.

Redeye makes a good product and is a great guy to deal with. I have this tool and it works well.

Or for those that just HAVE to tinker with something (like me), homemade works well too.

Posted a description here a while back, http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,8485.0.html

I just use a "L" shaped rod, or now a radiator hose pick under it to hold the tool while I turn it.

I used a motion pro tool once and also found it necessary to mark a spot to counts turns, and didn't really have a firm feel to when the screw bottomed out, sometimes couldn't even tell if it was engaged and turning.
