Default Adjusting Mixture

Does anyone have any pointers for adjusting the mixture on a Sporty without burning the hell out of their hands..? Or do I need to get one of those fancy right angled screwdriver thingys?

What you need is the EZ-Just Mixture Screw. Just reach under the carb with your fingers to adjust.

What's wrong with a glove?! I've owned Harleys since the 70s and while I have only occasionally adjusted my carbs, I have never needed anything special. Jus' sayin'.

Ah, Hampshire - that explains everything.......

Nothing wrong with 'ampshire :-D

It's a tight old gap to A: find a screwdriver for and B: get my fingers in without frying them
