can't reach idle screw with screw drier?!

[canadabear2013]

How am I supposed to adjust the idle screw if I can't reach it and turn turn it with a screw driver?

That's why the carburetors rotate

This screw being pointed at here needs to be cracked loose then it will rotate to your drivers reach. Hope this helps a.little more that the posting before mine..

I've yet to see one that cannot be accessed. Just curious what engine/carb do you have? If you decide to rotate the carb, please do so gently. Most likely you should have an o-ring in the neck so ensure you don't damage it. Do you know how to rotate the carb? Also, remember that to lower your idle you turn CCW and raise is CW (apologies if you are aware of this - unsure of your experience level)

I've invested in one of these(not the set, just the small long flat head) and it works wonders for every nitro rig I have. Here's a link to what I have:

$185 for 8 screwdrivers, that's some crazy $hit right there. I think I paid $4 or so for the one I use to adjust my needles.

Any long, thin flat blade driver will work. 3 or 4 bucks in ANY hardware store. It's one of the tools you can't be without.

I paid 16 bucks the one I have from snap on. Once I seen my lhs carry for around 5 bucks I kinda felt duped. Here's something my lhs carries:

if you still can't reach the nut to loosen the carb dont be afraid to dismount the motor from the vehicle to access it
