What do you guys do to tighten down the top of the carb? Finger tightening doesn't get it as far as it will go. When I use an adjustable pliers the teeth mark up the carb. Lately I've been using a paper towel or thin cloth underneath the pliers, but I'm wondering if there is a better way/tool?
 
Try and remove whatever is in the way? I know it means tearing the carb down but it might just be casting flash or threads not fully formed. I'd have a sharp triangle file, some 220 wet/dry sanpaper and the Dremel ready to go. You have to not only look for problems you have to feel for them. If I remember right I think the threads are cast into the top. I wouldn't be suprized to find the parting line needs to be filed off of the threads
