Carb question

Post by dave7273 »

While rebuilding my 34pict3 carb I accidentally put a jet in the wrong hole. It a little smaller than the hole and won't screw back out or won't fall out. There is a metal plug behind the hole. My question is, Can I drill out the plug get out the jet and fill the plug hole with something?

Thanks

I can't visualize which passage you're referring to, but perhaps it's one to which you could apply air pressure to aid in expelling the jet.

Try this
Insert a tooth pick in the jet hole and try pulling it back out with the jet on it :)
a metal wire may do the trick if you put a slight hook at the tip (think dental pick)

Might try getting the smallest knitting needle you can find, they are really small and have a hook in the end,
