Here are some
inexpensive tools
that have come in
handy over the
years.
Dental Mirror
and Pick Old Chains Repurposed
1/4 inch Wrench and Bits
Designed and
sold for cutting PVC, Pex and other plumbing pipe these work great on all types of fuel lines. They make square cuts everytime. The mirror lets you
see behind obstructions and into small areas, etc. The dental pick is great for retrieving washers and taking “O” rings off shafts. These are
found in hardware stores, hobby shops
or online. Combined with common hardware store drive bits
you can remove that difficult to get to
carb screw.
Run it through a piece of 1 3/8”
(inside diameter) iron pipe to create a sprocket wrench.
The bolt locks the chain in place
and allows
serious business to
remove stubborn
sprocket retaining nuts.
Attach the old chain to your good chain
to be cleaned with a
link (use of the retaining clip optional).
Pull the good chain feeding the old chain
around the drive sprocket.
Repeat to put the cleaned
chain back on. Reattach retaining clip so open end faces opposite direction of wheel rotation.
Buy the heavy duty $15 ones
and be careful as they’re razor sharp. Fuel Line Cutter
