Having been an auto mechanic for over 45 years, I immediately saw why I was unable to remove damaged jets and screws. As usual, most had previously been stripped/rounded smooth. ( This also could apply to my arsenal of "Protect My Home and Country" weapons.) Most being unavailable, at the time, there was no choice but to leave them and hope that the carb. cleaner did its job and most of the time it did. Probably because we had good cleaner, back in the day. Anyway, the gentleman who had written in the comments/suggestions had not made an address or we site available. He had made the suggestion, "If you don't need but one size, you can make your own." That was it .... nothing more! I have spent 3 hours searching for the directions on this process .... to no avail. Surely he is not the only person whole world with this information?? At the set I'd like to have, I could buy a new carb. .... two, in fact. I wish I had your "self control". Here it is Deer Season in Alabama and I have almost scratched and pulled every hair from my follically challenged head trying to find this "magic formula". I really don't think I could take another tornado to get to "See the Wizard of Ozzzzzzzzzz!! Is there a even a slight possibility that you might have this "Golden Nugget" in your files or know someone who does .... that might just release it to a Legal Southern RedNeck Patriot??? I sho would be on yo debt, suh..... (jarnkm) I found the advice to use a “hollow-ground” screwdriver, on an antique tractor site, when rebuilding the carburetors and distributors.
