This is a direct "copy" and "paste" from the Walbro website:

Due to the latest EPA and California Air Resources Board emissions regulations, Walbro has discontinued providing adjustment tools to Central Warehouse Distributors, Dealer’s or consumers.

I'm afraid that someday soon you won't be able to even buy a carb with adjusment needles without resorting to black market tactics. I can't tell you how angry this kind of thing makes an old mechanic and hot rodder like me...

Some day they will do away with carburetors, and everything will be fuel injected, with all the electronics potted in epoxy and non re-programmable. Don't know about you guys, but I sure get tired of the government deciding what is good for me, and then shoving it down my throat.

Anyone wanting to pm me to comment might want to do so quickly, as the moderators may not let this post live long. (Too controversial)
