need help!
Anyone got a good way to get stuck jets out of a Farmall 100 Zenith carb? Soaked for week in carb cleaner(Gunk),soaked for week in PB Blaster,won't budge. Will heat damage carb? Thanks

Re: need help!
Is this the main jet accessible from the back of the carb If so make yourself a screwdriver that fits the slot pretty tight the full width across. If it's the idle circuit jet grind a small screwdriver for the same fit.

Re: need help!
Donny I have tried good fitting screw drivers with a wrench on square part of driver ,won't budge. I was trying to help a friend out since I have rebuilt my Cub's carb and my uncle's Cub carb,with no trouble. These are really tight!

Re: need help!
Before going the ole heat route,---keep in mind that the carb body is luni!---heat can warp them pretty easy!---My question is---WHY are you taking them out?---there is nothing to be gained by removing them!----just soak them with good strong carb cleaner, poke a wire thru them, then blow them out with 175 psi air blow gun!---works every time and nothing gets brok off! thanks; sonny

Re: need help!
My friend kind of messed up the jets before I got the carb.I'm not so sure they will work properly now,but I might give it a try anyway. Thanks

Re: need help!
OOOOPPPPSSS!!!!---yea! now I see a need for removal!---I dont think easy outs will do the job!---might have to use hand drill and VERY carefully drill part of them out,--then get in there with a sharp pointed pic and clean the threads out---a little heat MIGHT work, but dont overdo it!!! LOL!!!----Put atf/diesel mix around the jets then heat that a bit ---yea it will burn, but it also gets in under the threads ! do this several times and keep trying to turn/wiggle them a little.
sometimes this will loosen them up! thanks; sonny
