Carburator nut and fitting question...

[Michael Burbidge]

One nut on the carburator is impossible to get to with the cable bracket and fuel inlet fitting blocking access to the bolt. I assume if I remove the fitting that I will be able to get the nut on. It still looks like it will be very difficult to get a wrench on. Is there a special wrench for that nut? Can I remove the fitting. I don't recognize the kind of fitting on the carburator. A normal pipe fitting screws into that fitting. It looks like there is a screen behind the fitting.

Here's the picture of the bolt I'm talking about.



Thanks,
Michael-

I wish there was a way to delete a post. I was too quick to ask for help.

I set the nut and washers on my little finger and was able to hold them against the bolt while I twisted the nut with the index finger of my other hand. Once the nut was on it protruded down past the bracket far enough that I could get a box end wrench on it and twist it one flat at a time.

I promise not to ask anymore questions for at least a day!
