After much research, I located a source for an inexpensive tool that appears to fit the D-shape idle adjustment screw on the Ruckus. It is a 1/4" socket. I'm not absolutely sure that it will work, but the tool the socket goes to is for motorcycle adjustment. Here is the link: www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/90_degree_1-4_hex_driver/The one you want is "Part # 08-0242 BIT, D-SHAPE F/USE WITH 08-0229" They were sold out earlier but they appear to be in stock now. The cost is $2.90 + $4.00 shipping, but that's a hell of a lot less than the Honda tool I bought for $30! I was considering buying out the inventory and reselling them to you all for $10 each, but considering all the help and valuable information I've received from everyone here, I just couldn't do it. Enjoy. |

Luckily my screw wasn't in there too tight so I was able to twist it with needle nose pliers but that's awkward and I don't like to scratch it up. If someone buys one of these and confirms they work then I'll get one too.
Also, that socket will fit on any 1/4 drive rachet handle right?

I don't know if it fits for sure or if it fits any 1/4 drive, because I didn't order one. Its only $7, shipping including.
How can you go wrong?

I guess I should check if they ship to Canada. US companies usually charge crazy rates for that.

Our Mac guy in Greeley won't sell to any shop that has been in business less than 3 years. And the one in Fort Collins owes me a few hundred in tools that I'm taking him to court for? Any chance that Strap-On makes a similar tool? Or Cornhole?

 I will talk to the Snap-on guy, but usually they are more expensive, that is why i choose Mac tools, but i will let you know about it, Mac also have a variator tool but is way more expensive than the one from DD

I'm blushing.
I guess the next "right" thing I'm going to do is the Big Bore!

Buying a big bore would be "super right", hurry up and do it

So here are some pics to illustrate the carb adjusting tool.  This is so you can see the kind of driver needed for the tool, you can also see the extension i need so the bit can reach the carb and a regular bit so you can figure out the size  this are just close-up pics of the tool ;D   Hope this let you guys know what is needed, now with this tool we can properly adjust the carburetor

I finally got around to buying this D socket (or atleast trying to) but the site won't ship outside of the USA. Unless someone else knows another sources for these, I'd like to go in on an order if someone else is ordering one of these.
