Abstract
A tool for removing a carburetor needle valve adjustment limiter cap has a handle with a set of jaws at one end for engaging the end cap and an actuator at the opposite end for applying force to the jaws to remove the end cap from the valve body. In a preferred form, the actuator has a slidable weight or mass that can be reciprocated along the handle to impact against a stop on the handle at an end opposite from the jaws. In another form, the actuator has a rod extending transversely through the handle and secured to it. In use, the rod is positioned against an abutment to provide a fulcrum about which the handle is pivoted to produce a force to pull the end cap from the valve body.
