Title: Help me find this tool
Post by: eventhorizon66 on July 25, 2010, 03:30:11 pm
I am looking for the little hole cutter/saw that is used to remove those hardened plugs over the idle mixture screws on some Q-jets.  I know about the hacksaw method, but would rather do it this way for a cleaner result.

Here it is being used in this pic, but I can't find it anywhere.

LOL I have like 10 of those things. I usually just poke a hole and pop em out or just drill em out when the carb is off, although it's been a while. Thexton made all of the kits as far as I recall. Let me look in my garage and see
