k181 governor adj. wrench

[sqrlgtr 767]

Does anyone happen to know what size wrench fits nut behind the governor arm? I need to adjust rpms on the little 856 I've been working on. Looks like it needs to be a pretty thin wrench and was wanting to buy a cheap one and grind/mill thinner. Thanks

I used the wrench I got with my angle grinder. Even used the grinder on the wrench so it fit

I use the wrench from my table saw. It's the correct size and is thin enough to fit without binding.

That's exactly why it's good to have some of those cheap crappy tools around. I have no problem grinding or bending or both on them to make unique tools when needed. Wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers etc etc. You name it. Don't be scared to pay a dollar for some cheap tools that can be modified without remorse.

A modified wrench works good for those carb bolts too.
