Pilot Screw Driver

[safemonkey]

Hi I have a Yamaha 2.5 outboard engine .

I want to adjust the carburettor Pilot Screw but i need a special tool .

part number 90890-03154 .



Its a D type driver but £31.25 inc postage is a bit steep for a screwdriver. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative ?

Any ideas would be much appreciated .

I bought a set of carb screwdrivers from eBay years ago - something like £5.00 for a set of 10 and they've fitted everything I've needed them to so far.

The words "avin a larf", come to mind.

You lot should think yourselves lucky
I've just made two of these, by the time the milling, turning and necessary paperwork is complete they'll cost around £400 each. And they're job? They get shoved in the inertia reel seat belt of a Chinnock to temporarily jam it up. To give an idea of size, that's an m6 thread
Edit: if anyone here owns a Chinnock, with a few design tweaks, I'll knock you one out for about half that

Probably be able to knock these out in about 3-4 mins on a sliding head turning centre, only problem is the setting for 2 off

That's a good finish for a centre lathe
