[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 413854, member: 3278"] [size=5]Why would you only clean most of the carburetor? Do the job right and you only have to do it once. There are calibrated idle and off-idle feeds under the plug that any debris at all can and will block. To remove the plug simply drill a 1/8" hole in the plug at the center. Be very careful and use very light pressure and a slow speed. You do not want the bit to plunge through and hit those holes below it. Be ready for it. Pry the plug out. Re-installation only requires a tiny socket or a large flat punch. Firmly tap the new plug in place. If you still don't feel good about it then grab your wife's/Mom's clear nail polish and spread some around the edge of the plug. [/size] [/QUOTE]
