Bill's coming up on Sunday to look at the A/F settings on his '04 and repolish his Sceptres. He reminded me his bike has D screws in the carbs. I'm not sure we can get the tool before Sunday or if it is even needed. I remember reading about making your own from a piece of ink pen or similar?
Please tell me about your "ghetto D" screw fixes!

You can flatten one side of a small piece of steel brake line to make one. I pulled my cabs and took them out with hemostats and cut a screwdriver slot in them with a dremel.

I took care of that by removing them and installing a set of thumbscrews from FastEddy

I know it's too late for Sunday but changing to the thumbscrews is the way to go. Not only are they very easy to adjust, they are indexed and you can tell exactly where they are. They are direct replacements for the factory ones using the same springs, etc. pilot screws
