My carbs are held on by 13mm nuts.
I got irritated enough that I took my
cutoff tool and made a shorty 13
mm open end wrench. This helped a lot!
and I keep it in a safe place with all
the other "special" tools I have created
over the years. BTW, with both carbs off
its an ideal time to get some clear tubing
and check the float levels. I used a
2X6, and a level, and some nails, to create
a level device to hang the carbs on, and measure
the float liquid levels.
Best Regards,
