I just mailed my deposit on my new Jab3300. Are there any tools I should order now? 

     I was watching the how-to video with can-zac and he was pulling apart the carburetor. Do I need the jet removal tool? What else. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Don,

  

 I believe you will love the Jab in your 601 XL - I  sure do in mine.

  

 For routine preventative maintenance, common hand  tools should suffice.  The only thing you may or may not have in your tool  box are 3/16 and 1/4 inch ball nose 3/8 inch drive long hex wrenches.   These can be used many places on the engine to check torque or to remove cap  screws.

  

  Not a problem changing out any carb jets with  common 1/4 drive socket wrenches (10 mm, if I recall correctly).  I doubt  if you will have to change the jets with a new engine though.

  

 One thing I changed on the engine was to install a  quick change oil change valve in place of the oil plug.  Sure makes  changing oil easier.  Put one end of a hose on the valve  with the other end in a bottle/container and open the valve - no  mess.   Bought mine from Jab USA for about $25, I think.
