And be very careful not to drop the little wrench down inside the front
suspension strut like I did yesterday =F0=9F=98=A0

Tom,<br>
<br>
I don't have mine handy, but from memory:<br>
<br>
The two black plastic rod-looking things go into the center of the
vacuum pistons. In those go the 90-deg bent wires. With these you
can see the pistons rise and fall, so as to even airflow. They also
allow ballpark 1/32 piston lifts to check mixture.<br>
<br>
The small brass plug-looking thing is a jet-centering tool that goes
in place of a jet; very handy if you're doing a complete overhaul
and replacing the jets.<br>
<br>
By far the most useful tool is the small wrench that looks like the
tool some people use to floss; it's the only way I can get to the
jet adjusting nuts on my BN2. Any other tool--wrench, pliers,
etc.--would be almost impossible to use with the carbs on the car.<br>
<br>
All in all, a simple but useful collection of tools. Did I miss any?<br=

raising the piston 1/32=E2=80=9D is not my issue. I am
wondering why the engine stalls when the center carb
piston is lifted all the way up and the others don=E2=

stall the engine when lifted all the way up. I sent
another post with a link for that. The carbs are
well synced, I used the S.U tuning kit to check the
piston lift and they are spot on.</span></p>
