PMS thumbscrew ? 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
Has anyone used and or recommend the PMS thumbscrew that Barons sells? I know the PMS isn't adjusted that often but it does seem to make it alot easier.

I just installed one yesterday, and it's much easier than messing around with a screw driver to adjust.

Thanks, re-jetting soon, and fixing my acc.pump plunger at same time; figured the thumbscrew would make on the road adjustments easier.

Push a length of fuel hose over the knurled knob, route it out between the front pushrod tube and the front of the airbox and you can adjust it just like adjusting the idle.

Good idea, I do that with spark plugs when trying to get started on my truck and car motors.
