Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

or there is that. However, while I've done that in the past, almost always, I've managed to screw up the socket for allen key so it rendered them useless to re-use or take off. But I like your thinking.
I guess when you live in a one horse town, and you have to drive for everything or wait for a on-line order, I just don't have the patience. Usually what I have will work or I can make it work.
