Look at this brilliant shit, first time for this in over two decades of carbs
The oring from the carb cap is slipped over the needle as a needle retainer, also no vacuum seal therefore under carb cap
I'm calling them tomorrow, asked around tonight, turns out the current snapon guy here is the same one that serviced us at the dealership where I bought it. Still mad
I know, but i will have to hang this one on the wall, and create a relationship with a new screwdriver... See its the main one for carbs, and done thousands.
I have one like that, a nice hardened extended phillips that can reach through the frame and reach those hard to get screws and easily reaches the air filter and carb removal screws, I don't touch anything else with it.. funny, the go to screw driver
This is my screwdriver. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My screwdriver is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My screwdriver, without me, is useless. Without my screwdriver, I am useless.
Those carbs were risen from the titanic, buried in the desert, then put on a bike right?
Hanging the broken screwdriver on the wall to overlook your new one doing the work it used to do is just cruel and unusual punishment. Inanimate objects have quite a lot of feelings as well...
Where it broke you can cut the other side off and make a standard, or shave it flush and have a #4 for large screws, or sharpen it to a point and make an ice pick/prison shank.
Use your imagination, even a broken tool is a useful one in some way or another after some refinement.
Drill Sergeant: [off screen] CCM! [Hurrying over] Why did you put that Carburetor together so quickly, CCM!?
CCM: You told me to, drill sergeant.
Drill Sergeant: [Looks at a stopwatch he is holding] Jesus H. Christ! This is a new company record. If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man, I'd recommend you for GDC mod status, Private CCM! You are gonna be a general someday, CCM! Now, disassemble your Next Carb and continue!

Yup, so I call some old friends (since I just moved back here in April but had lived here many years ago), got the snapon guys phone number, called him... It is the same guy. He remembered me and the guys at the dealership, remembered making this screwdriver for me (custom handle). Twenty some years later, and ordered me another free.
Still mad at your carbs, you know who you are..
