Well, I got the rest of my jet blocks repaired with the new brass threaded inserts yesterday. All of my new jets came in, and I got the rest of the caps polished last night. Hopefully, I can get the carbs fully clean, and re-assembled in time to install before this weekend. I can't wait to see the difference between 26's and 29's. :)

Forgive if already mentioned, but this cleaning method works well on smoothbores.

The small air jet is easily overlooked, and is removable for cleaning.

Good Fortune! :)

Thanks Patton. That air jet is a small bugger. I should be doing this tonight if I get time.

Got those carbs stuck back together this evening. Still need to do a bench sync, and adjust fuel level. Should be making fire with these this weekend.

Everything went back together smooth with new pilot jets, main jets, jet needles, and needle jets.

I guess that the ballpoint pen trick won't work on these float bowls for the clear tube test.

Handsome carbs! :cheer:

Could use a modified drain screw:

Or fab your own.
And might also find on ebay.:unsure:

I get by just fine with a tube inside a grommet (cone-shaped if available) pressed inside the drain hole:

just remember to mark the tube. this way the same amount of fuel comes out of the bowl each time and the results remain accurate.
