Having taken my carb on and off more times than I can count this is what you
need. First get a 1/2" open end wrench (I am pretty sure it is a 1/2" nut.)
Now turn on the bench grinder and grind most of the sides the head of the
wrench making it skinny. Now you can turn those nuts much better. I used
a Craftsman wrench, take you pick on what you use.
