    Can't get enrichment jet cleaned and seriously gacked up the drain screw. Would like right hand side bowl, but either will work.

    Have you tried a little heat to clear it?
    Did one like this yesterday . A bit of carb cleaner and propane torch. It took a few cycles but did eventually clear. I do have a couple of carb racks for parts, and have a bowl that is good if that trick doesn't work . Pm me and I'll arrange to ship PayPal cheap from point Roberts Washington

    I've tried cooking it a few times with my heat gun. Going to keep trying and if it does not clear by payday, I'll text you for sure. Thank you!

    PRAISE THE GREAT GREASE MONKEY IN THE SKY I GOT THOSE MOTHER F..... can we cuss here?? ... CLEARED!!!! Took dunking them in the sonic cleaner with 50/50 distilled water and MeanGreen (pretty caustic to the alloy as I understand) but they are all at least flowing. still have to extract 2 drain screws but that is no big deal. MAN, why did they build those to fail?

    Due to posting limitations, I need to bump this thread with a new request. I need a Y10 jet needle. I dropped and bent one while cleaning my shop today. Damn shame as I just placed a relatively substantial order with Chacal
