Default Re: 97 jet plug removal

I have removed many a stuck jet out of Stromberg carburetors. Sometimes you just need some heat as well as good penetrating oil. What I do is use a propane torch, heat the outside of the jet area, apply some penetrating oil, and set the carburetor body aside to let it cool. Then I try using a jet wrench. sometimes it takes more than 1 try to get the jet out. I have never failed to get the jets out using this method. after the jet is removed, run a 3/8-24 tap down the threads to clean up any debris, or crud in the threads. that way, when you re-assemble the carburetor it should be easier to get the jets back in.
