Default string trimmer carb adjustment tool

I have a sears string trimmer (25cc-17" Model# 358.791010 california model- arrrrgh!) that seems to be running a bit lean and the mixture adjustment screws are of a splined type. Is there one kind of tool for the spline type (as opposed to the "d"type and flattened "o" type? Thanks Pat

Don't know. You might check Youtube for a video.

Another idea is to cut a slot in the screw with a dremel tool.
