Kev, will leave to a carb expert for the absolute answer and maybe a better way to adjust but to my mind, using the procedure given if there is nothing obstructing a fairly straight shot you could go to hobby store and pick up a piece of .020 straight music wire about a foot long. Maybe a slight bend or two if not a straight shot but stick it down the top and make the adjustment. Think that would work the same except the wire would be on top instead of bottom.

A #76 drill bit could also be used if securely attached to something but would be afraid it would loosen and drop and probably be hard to find--both in manifold if dropped and in store to buy--although good hobby store might have as well as lots of those small sizes are used in model airplane work.
