Where do I go about getting a fixed jet screw driver and what do they normally cost..this is to remove a high speed orifice plug on the float bowl of the carb..BTW, this is on a 1974 40HP Johnson Norseman..

Re: carb question

Just use a flat screw driver that fits in the plug hole, just a little smaller so you do not damage the threads...good luck. :D

Re: carb question

Just make sure the blade of the screwdriver fits very snugly in the slot of the jet. I took an old screwdriver that had a wide blade and ground down the shaft to fit the hole. Don't want to bugger the slot in the jet up or it's never coming out...
