Predator 212 jet removal help

[RSN]

Hey all,
New to the forum. I have a mini that I have been upgrading.

I cannot get the jet out of my carb. I am about to destroy the copper slot on this jet. I thought my screwdriver was just right... But I can see now that it was a bit too thick.
I bet the emulsion tube is going to be stuck in good as well.

Any recommendations? Does anyone know the "right" screwdriver for the job?

I have enjoyed the forum so far. Thanks.

if it looks as bad as the picture you might need an easy out for that :doah:

It looks pretty gnarly on the surface but the... Yeah, I guess it might be pretty chewed up.

Take a cheap screwdriver and grind the sides down next time you need to remove the jet!

I'll easy out it tomorrow. I have a replacement in my hand.
Thanks.
This my "new" bike.

RSN,
There is your answer right there.:thumbsupBeen there, done that, ourselves- LOTS of times). You will very soon realize that the more you work on these bikes that you will have the need to "modify" or "customize" a tool for a specific job. As CarPlayB correctly stated, always try to use a cheap tool if you can.
