[AT] Out with the new, in with the old

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Larry, if you are talking about those reversed torx style screws, a new wire 
end works pretty good. I grip it in a pair of needle nose vise grips and 
shove the end that goes on the wire down over the screw. Depending on the 
wire end, some of them begin to spread open and slip so you may not turn the 
screw as much as you thought.

The company policy that blows my mind the most is the one where they 
purposely design an adjustment screw on a carburetor so that NO standard 
tool works on it, and then refuses to sell the special tool to anyone who is 
not licensed to do the repairs.  So I went home and built my own out of an 
item from Harbor Freight and a chunk of vinyl tubing.
