Echo Carb Adjusting Tool

[Ty Unnos]

My little Echo 280 WES seems to be running a bit lean.

 

I hesitates when you squeeze the throttle and seems to take a second to come up to speed.

 

My guess is it needs a bit more on the L screw?

 

Anyway the Echo seems to need a tool to adjust the L and H screws.

 

Like a small round socket but with one flat edge.

 

Any ideas where I can get one of these tools?

 

Cheers

I can have a look in my books when i am at work on monday. i recently bought one after using a home made on quite successfully for many years.

I think i used a bit of 3/16 copper brake pipe. I pressed it on to an old screwdriver shaft of the right diameter and formed a little flat on it.

It worked perfectly.

I usually manage to get the adjustment screws out and then cut a slot in the top of them so they can be adjusted with a conventional flat head screwdriver:thumbup:

 

Getting them out can be a bit of a sod though:thumbdown:
