The ones you find on the net are limited to specific carb models and are only adjustable by hand beneath the bowl. I was talking to the local stihl agent/mechanic and he showed me a self propelled mower with a main jet adjutment on the handle right by the users hand. He also mentioned many small airplanes commonly use an adjustable mixture knob in the cockpit.

Imagine being able to turn a knob on the dash and go into lean burn. Awesome! You could monitor with an O2 sensor or vacuum gauge I imagine.

Not many Kingswoods left over here!
Jam a screw into a piece of fuel line, run it to where ever is convenient for you, and jam the other end of the fuel line onto the adjustment screw in the bowl. You'll have adjustability from wherever you happen to run it.

Lawnmower fuel line... or automotive vacuum line.
