Correct screwdriver for pilot jets?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

What's the right size screwdriver for pilot jets in Mikuni carbs, the one I used to use is fecked and I thought I'd buy the right size this time instead of a generic small screwdriver.

I can only suggest measuring the slot.....

Bit difficult when the jet is in the carb

I got impatient (as per usual) and ordered a Draper set of screwdrivers off Amazon, reduced from £40 to £25, so I'll have yet more screwdrivers in weird sizes I never use

If you have lots of screwdrivers and grinding wheel then you can have the exact screwdriver you need, assuming it's a flat tip.

I've got a set of files

Probably easier to start with a screwdriver.

Dad_morti has this set, and the flat blade in it is the only screwdriver I've ever used which actually fit the slots in the jets on a CB-1 and a CBR900.
The blade is unusually narrow for how thick it is, and it isn't tapered as much as usual.
Maybe this is another of those things where having a Japanese screwdriver to work on a Japanese screw is actually really useful?

Bought one, it's on it's way from Yokohama, don't care if it fits or not, it's pretty, it's a tool and it's from Japan.

Hope you enjoy it
On the off chance you don't yet have a Japanese "+2" screwdriver, it's going to become your new favourite tool for master cylinder caps, fairing screws, handlebar switches, carb servicing, etc.
It's also a handy size for most under seat toolkits.

Meh, so I didn't spend time searching out the cheapest link - not sure it's worth a disgruntled post for £3 difference.
