Do you reccomend the RB thumbscrew?

Post by 2001kdx »

It looks very tempting for just $20..... I might just pick it up becasue I know I'll have a serious amount of jetting to do once that spring weather comes in.... No more screwdrivers needed - Is it worth it?

It's worth it.

Or you can try to glue a little screwdriver to your existing screw.

I usually fine-tune my air screw adjustment at least a couple times over the course of a day's ride..because the temps may vary 20-30ºs. The SSS does seem a more fine adjustment, too..and that's where my carb is all the time, so being able to adjust it on the fly is great.

I don't always get it on the fly..but if I have to stop, it takes only a couple of seconds to make the tweak.

Worth it? Yep. On my modified air striker anyway. Can't say the same for an unmodified OEM PWK.

I can't think of anything Mr. Black offers that is not worth it. In my experience, the only disappointment has been in not getting his mods sooner.

It's a very handy thing to have to be tweakin' . . .

adjusting on the "fly" on that big yellow chainsaw could be interesting though!!
