ECHO carb adjusting tool

[blackchevy3de]

I found a company that sells the small D with a long handle ,and comes with a large D tool with a short handle , not cheap 49.00 dollars but I think its well worth it .

blackchevy, For the Ryobi with D shaped adjustment screws this forum presents a $.49 version for DIY'rs. Even free if you have an old valve stem. Try the search function

That trick would be very difficult to use in poster's application. The carburetor he is referring too has a much, much smaller adjustment screw. To aid in difficulty, it is recessed in further than most and the hole around it is only a hair's width bigger than the screw. I'll bet the screw head is no bigger than 3-4 mm.

The part number for the handle only is 91086. It will be difficult to find at a reasonable price. I suggest if you can order one, order at least 2. I have broken 1 of them in the past because the ends are very very thin .

Glad you found it. It is always nice to have the appropriate tools. I don't know why there is such a mark between the tool w/ handle and just the bit. Several years ago I purchased one with the blue handle and it was $40-$50. The price for the bit only is like $5-$6. Who knows. Echo Canada has the full line of tools (with part numbers) online to view. It makes it easier to chase down tools when you have the part number.

Thanks for the pictures. What a rip. Get a tip for $5 and braze it to a rod. I suppose the rod would have to be hardened to transmit force into the D head without bending or breaking. Maybe use "casenit" heat treat dope on a 1/8" weld rod or long drill shank.? Follow instructions on the casenit package-weld shop. Or do some careful grinding on a hardened rod

Maybe some confusion. The bit that comes in p/n 91086 is the same that is in yours. (I think) I am assuming you have the blue handle tool. If you look at the handle there is a set screw in the side. the whole bit is removable from there. If you look at the first picture I posted you can see that there are two bits and one handle. The handle I had in my toolbox already. I just attached it to the bit as seen in pic 2. Nonetheless, if you work on a lot of Echo equipment this is a must have. Spending the money for the appropriate tool seems much better than spending hours re-engineering the wheel. LOL Plus it lets people know you are serious. Congrats.
