Years ago I carefully ground down a slotted screwdriver so that it fit the smallest carb jets. Then I lost it, and the next time I needed it, in my haste to get the engine running later, mangled a jet or two with an improper screwdriver on a borderline carb. I replaced the carb, and after six seasons it's time to clean it out and get serious about a lingering reluctance to idle.
Sure, I could grind down another screwdriver. But I'd like to be able to buy a Moyer-approved screwdriver set to avoid the mangle factor. I see hardware stores selling six-way Lutz logo screwdrivers next to the cash register. Most of them are decent quality for this purpose - why not one from Moyer with carburetor-sized bits?
Option 1 - source custom bits
Option 2 - use stock bits but grind them down to size. With proper training a high schooler could probably pump out 25 an afternoon.
