DonaldSmith Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I've got my parts from Mike's Carburetors and I am diligently reading the instructions. "Tool No. T109-70 must be used to remove tube and to install new tube." I see such a tool on line, Buy It Now, for $20. But it also looks like something I could cobble together. There's a narrow shaft about an inch or so long, with a slot cut in the end. Then the shaft fattens u[p and extends up a way, with a hole for a cross arm. Comments? Experiences? Any other tools that would make the job easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution desoto1939 Posted June 23, 2023 Solution Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Yes you could make the tool but also consider the time, metal and also not knowing all of the correct measurements. This is the venturi tube removed that has to be perfect fit so as to not bend or ruin the venturi tube when doing a remove and replace in your BB and Carb. My best suggestion if to purchase the tool and have the correct tool for the B&B carb rebuild. Factory tools are alwasy better that had made tools.

Dodgeb4ya Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I doubt you could make that tool and get it to work with out damaging the tube. I use that tool quite a bit. Spend the measly 20 bucks do it right. Edited June 24, 2023 by Dodgeb4ya Spell check 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldSmith Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 I found photos of my carb rebuild. The tool that I had sent away for did not fit. I found that I had a screwdriver whose blade was jus wide enough to unscrew the tube. X X Just happened to have a screwdriver... This photo is titled "wrong tool".

I have always used screw drivers for these jobs. Just make sure the tip of the screwdriver blade securely grabs both sides of the brass. Grind down the wide sides of the blade so it fits in the hole. And it still works as a screwdriver when you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
