    Hi all the bike is up and running and i just need to balance the carbs.
    I was wondering about this tool...
    i saw the link to a yics tool at http://home.westman.wave.ca/%7Ejbe/YICS.ht ... but my problem is that here in canada i can't find a threaded #6x32 rod longer than 12 inches.

    Is there any other method to make this tool?

    thanks

    sorry thought i would add, I have looked at homedepot, Rona centre, and Home hardware for the threaded rod. No luck.

    you only need clean threads at each end, so get your freindly welder to spot 2 together.

    Are you in toronto? If you are I was able to get a long rod with correct thread from Brofasco - there are several stores in TO - there are a few 'fastener' firms in toronto. Canadian tire also sells rods

    We have threaded rod in spades here in the states. Ace Hardware. I built a few of these tools and they work great!
    If you can't find the threaded rod, I'll get some for you. Just pay for cost & shipping. I'll also sell you a tool, if you want one.
