Ya need and inverted TORX , just when ya THINK you have every tool in the world some yaho comes up with a new one . Yea i had to run out and BUY a set of them suckers also.
 
Thanks for help guys first time I ever needed one .I'm tempted to put visegrips on it but if it's to tight and rounds off I'm screwed
 
Called an E torx

Gm cars and others have used them for a couple decades at least. Mainly for driving studs like in your photo but sometimes just a small head on large bolt

Another explanation of torx and e torx

Most times you can get them out with a small socket. May need to try sizes out of both the metric and standard set.
 
No grip it just back from the end it?s not that hard to take off ask me how I know .i have one just like it.use a socket if you don?t want to use vise grips
 
I took carb apart couldn't find anything plugged it will start right up on starting fluid but then dies what does this other hose do that connects to the part with ovh part
 
Vet .... Torx heads have been around since '67, well that's what Wikipedia says anyways. One thing for sure, if you have the right sized Torx wrench, they're pretty much impossible to slip. Some history below in the link and in there some interesting technical stuff and information if a guy is into that stuff ....
TORX ... all you need to know
 
I'll assume you meant you did not find even the tiniest speck in the jet, which resides somewhere either at the bottom of the carb stem that protrudes into the bowl, or up in there somewhere? The jet might screw out of that stem, or it might be machined into the nut that holds the bowl on. If the jet is clear, check for gas flow from the tank to carb. I leave the bowl off and let the float dangle, turn the gas valve on, and see if it dribbles out. If you get gas there, make sure it turns off when you push the float up, put the bowl back on and it should work. I use a fine wire pulled out of one of my wire brushes to check the jet openings.
 
Pretty sure the main jet is incorporated into the bolt/plug that holds the bowl on.

Take the bolt out, look on top of the bolt, there should be a tiny hole

If not there, the jet will be up inside the stem in the middle of the bowl.

Poke and thoroughly scrape the jet with a wire out of a wire brush. If you can get 2 or 3 wires in at the same time, all the better. Ethanol residue adheres to the brass when it dries up. It must be mechanically scraped off, spray won't get it. Any left behind will cause governor surging.
 
Ya don't find them on tractors of the age i work on. I had to get them to work on my cars and trucks . That is why ileft the car and truck work many years ago . Every stinking year you had to BUY more new tools to beable to work on the junk.and over the what last 59 years of tool buying ya still don't have it all . That is why i like working on the IH line for most jobs my handy tote road box that i could carry with one hand i could tear into and engine with what was in a TOTE box and other thenn my torque wrench i had everything . With that one small box i could split and do a clutch and T/A along with my splitting stands . Then along came my Cummins and OH i need MORE tools to work on it and the service kit was only 1240 bucks . I needed the inverted torx to work on my daughters 054 Chrysler sebering and had to run and get a set of them . The regular torx was needed for the 88 Ford truck , then ya needd the Special wheel bearing socket for the rear and one for the ft. and the special tools for the rear end whne it took a dump . ya need special tools to work on a Dana rear end , Ya need special tools to work on a I H rear end . and when ya think ya have them all ya will need something else to do a job because some dumb engineer needed to justifies his job .
 
I hear what you're saying TV and for a guy who makes his living with tools it gets expensive. But haven't mechanics always had to buy new tools over the years? Your complaints though lose a bit of their credibility with your last sentence about some dumb engineer and his job. That's where your post turns into a bit of a rant, in my opinion anyways. If you read that TORX article carefully, you will see there is a lot of physics (ie engineering) involved with the design, it's not just something that somebody dreamed up for fun. Once again, my opinion.
