I need to remove the original fuel screw but it call for a "D bit" anyone know of a substitute or where I can get this D bit? I only need to use it once, I am replacing with an extension fuel screw. Thx

I used a spade connector (18-22AWG). Just pushed it on and unscrewed. Other people have used a 22-18 AWG (red) splice heated with a heat gun.
Thank you

Great idea, no wonder I didn't think of it. Thanks again.

I found this post after checking with three local Honda dealers for a D-bit. What an excellent idea!
To take it one step further, when you get the original fuel screw out, two minutes spent with a hacksaw creates a nice notch so you can use a small screwdriver to put the screw back in the carb. I carry a straight bit in my fanny pack to make any additional adjustments.
