I know they sell flexable tools at your local parts store for this...but a screwdriver should work.

Round copper tube and a hammer. It's a tool!

Man, the toolmaker.
Invention is the mother of necessity.

In a pinch, I can make any old piece of junk into a useful tool. You don't need an official tool to adjust a carb, just a piece of tubing to fit over the screw head.
I should have said, "take a piece of copper tubing and hammer it flat on the sides to fit over the screw head."
Try it, you'll like it!
