Where can i get carb tool #317002?

[TSBoatman]

I have 69 johnson 85 hp and need to remove the orfices in the carbs but the tool i made needs more grinding and i wont have acess to a grinding wheel today so if the original tool to remove those is not that expensive i'd like to go get one. I called to my local marine shops but only thier mechanics have them and wont sell me one. Maybe an auto shop and if so what do they refer it as? any suggestions?

Thanks ezeke. What i'm really looking for is some place and can possibly just run out to and scoop one up? I know its a shot in the dark but by the time i order one i will havbe access to a gringing wheel again so i guess i'm just being nitty Any other suggestions before i abandon it until monday?

Use a good quality screw driver, a caliper, a bench grinder and file and you could make one. Note that the shaft needs to be 3/16" - no larger.

Check out this page ... http://www.lawnmowerpros.com/Briggs-Stratton/Briggs-and-Stratton-Service-Tools.asp

They're cheaper here ... http://www.grishamsonline.com/produ...54.qscstrfrnt04?categoryId=312&productId=6199

I ordered both the small and the large jet screwdrivers ... the widths of the blades are 3/16" and 1/4" respectively.

If you're interested, I can post a close-up picture of the blades.
