Anyone want to lend me their carbtune and right angled screwdriver for a weekend sometime soon in the future? Would pay postage and whatever they want for the loan of said items!

Just wondered, what is teh best way to get to the draw off points for balncing the carbs, i have just been looking and it looks pretty hard to get to C4. should i take the carbs off get the hoses on and then refit the carbs; balance them take them off and remove the hoses?
Any advice much appreciated. :peace:

Cheers Ricky,
I thought that was the right screw, but i thought "it cant be that simple"
I have a similar tool kit to the one you suggest, i got mine from the 99p store in town, and it has sockets sizes from 2mm up to 12mm in 0.5 steps, it is really useful as they fit in the end of a flexi scewdriver. i doubt they would last long but i am going to get another set if they have any left.
Cheers :peace:
