I usually do not bother pulling the welch plug as long as I am able to get plenty of carb cleaner to pass thru the ports in both directions. I have pulled a number of them when doing carb rebuilds and rarely find anything behind those plugs. I have never found more than a trace of fine debris inside that cavity. Unless I’m chasing other problems I cannot figure out, I do not pull them anymore.
When replacing the welch plug with a new one I do seal them up with clear nail polish just to be sure there is no leakage. I have never had a problem with one leaking unless the pocket was buggered up. If you do end up pulling the welch plug, be VERY careful when drilling the pull hole in the center of the existing plug to not let the drill touch the carb body when it breaks through. 😉
