I'd encourage you to do the cleaning and tuneup yourself.
IMO those are essential skills for a spree owner and even the first time doing them it doesn't take very long.

Running those things thru jets is a bad thing. Yes, they clear out crap but they also remove metal from the jet, which opens up the size of the jet, a bad thing. * they ruin nozzles on Ox/acetylene welding tips which are a lot harder than than fuel jets.bradthreee wrote:+2 on DIY.

Re: looking for a good spree mechanic in PORTLAND
There are different sizes of wire included in the kit. You will not remove metal if you're using a smaller wire than the hole you are poking. The smallest wire is perfect for the fixed pilot in these carbs, trust me I'm not some dumb kidBear45-70 wrote:Running those things thru jets is a bad thing.

Believing those round files and that is what they are, will not remove metal is like believing obummer is gonna do anything right. NOT!bradthreee wrote:There are different sizes of wire included in the kit. You will not remove metal if you're using a smaller wire than the hole you are poking.

I don't need a picture, I have a set somewhere around here. I know what they are and haven't used them since I got them.bradthreee wrote:They are not all round files bear, if I had time I would take a pic for you...
