Where can I find a tool for adjusting the carburetor for a Homelite

This adjustment screw has a round head with a small hole off center

in it. Similar to a nutdriver with a pin near the edge would be what I
am
trying to find.

I may have to resort to taking it out and cutting a slot in it with my
Dremal tool.






The reason you can't find this tool is that it is not to be sold to the
general public. (along with some of the others)

See

scroll down the page for picture and p/n of "pin" tool

See http://www.mowers4u.com/lookups/MTD-140.pdf

for a copy of the EPA notice for this, along with the penalties for a
dealer selling such.

Googling found some tips on using a piece of vinyl tubing to "grab" the
screw head.

Good Luck......

After checking several of the usual places (ebay. Amazon ) with the part
number and searching for about an hour off and on, it seem that the part
number is out of stock every where. Seems that there are all kinds of other
carb adjusting tools around, but not this one. I would have thought that
China would have one, but could not fine it if they do.
