    Like I said it is a precision hole.

    Boy; I guess so. When you think of how much difference just a **LITTLE** adjustment does on the carbs with the adjustable High-Speed jets…..imagine how precise that little hole needs to be.

    I imagine that in many a carburetor….that fixed jet is "cleaned" with a wire or whatnot….and that engine will run rich from that day forward. I personally don’t like the fixed jets.

    I’ve found that the "simple-green" sort of cleaner (mine is the Costco equivalent) works very well for such endeavors. Just soak the pieces in there (I heat the solution a bit) and everything comes out bright and shiny. Very quickly too.
