I hve been told by a well experienced motor mechanic who specialises in older cars that soldering up a jet and redrilling it is only a temporary fix because the fuel gradually dissolves the lead out of the solder. Has anybody heard of this? If it is so, then the person who put the strands of copper wire in my jets must have really known what he was doing.

I have found that a soft solder repaired main jet, for example, flowed exactly the same after 4 years of use as when it was first repaired.
