To tighten the inside (upper) 5/16" carburetor bolt that connects the carburetor to the air cleaner, no standard wrench or small socket seems to work for me. I radially thinned down the jaws of an open-end 1/2" wrench but still that does not work. I am curious what innovative ways or special wrench others have used to tighten this bolt.

Thanks for all you input. I like to put a gasket at that joint because it is cleaned air and I like to tighten the upper air cleaner joint and two carb joints simultaneous to avoid stresses on the carb ears. To do this, my only success has been to stick the open-end wrench from the front between the carb and block at an angle onto the hex and twist on the other end of the wrench. This gets me about 1/12 of a turn and then I can usually get another 1/12 of a turn using the open-ended wrench normally. This advances the bolt one flat. Disgusting task!!!

I have never liked that bolt position. Never.

I am so happy to hear that other people have the same problem! Not one of Case's best designs, but a minor flaw at that.

THe easiest way I have found is to take the piece off the air cleaner and tighten both bolts then attach the carburetor to the intake manifold.
