I'm trying to set my mixture to get my car restarted, it has been running rich and now won't start at all.

When I was trying I turned the wrong way and it went right to the top, I should point out that I managed this by hand, not with a spanner

But now I need to back it off I can't turn it by hand but also can't seem to get a spanner in there to turn it. I have got one of the tiny spanners that minispares sell for carb adjustment but this is too small

Any suggestions?

I use a 17mm short spanner from the off side on a hs4.

I can only usually adjust half a flat before turning the spanner over.

Ok, maybe a trip to halfords for stubby spanners then

Yup, 17mm down the right hand side of the carb.

Stubby spanner worked perfectly - Thanks!

Lol - Only way I could get a stubby spanner without buying online and having to wait

Yes you are quite correct and I wouldn't normally but I don't have a short enough 11/16.

i always have a guilty look over my shoulder before using it
