Mikuni CV Carb Tools (See 'Carb Guide' Also)
Some of you perhaps may have purchased the Mikuni Carburetor tool kit that Sudco, Sirius and others sell. In that kit are precisely correct sized driver tools for both metric JIS crosspoint screws and JIS slotted screws of our OEM Mikuni CV Carburetors.
Our OEM carbs are made to JIS standards so tools manufactured to that standard fit them correctly.
slotted drivers in the kit Mikuni offers are only two sizes:
A. Metric JIS #4 (width 4mm x tip thickness 0.6mm) B. Metric JIS #6 (width 6mm x tip thickness 0.85mm) These two sizes are all that's needed to fit all Mikuni CV jets correctly. (I understand that a #6.5 and a # 8 also have utility on some Mikuni Carburetors.) Note that no part of the shaft or driver is wider than the tip or "spade shaped" as are many US screwdrivers.
"US Phillips type" A JIS #2 Crosspoint
Hex Sockets: 6mm & 9mm Hex Wrenchs: 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17 mm Hex
Same old saw....Right tool right job! Back to the recovery from the otherwise tips.
I have sourced all these screwwdrivers from Vessel Tools(and their neighboring sizes and find them to also be excellent whether of 1/4" hex drive screwdriver bit variety or of various handled convention, ratchet or impact screwdrivers. Blue
