[QUOTE="Mandorider, post: 46067, member: 1967"] Update: I let the Jets soak in Berrymans all night, used some mandolin strngs (mandorider, get it?) to clear out the holes. 1 of the 4 jets was clear. the other 3 had all holes totally clogged. all 9 holes. (8 on the sides and 1 down the center) it wasnt easy to unclog them. tried wire off of a wire brush but they are not rigid enough. that is, they bend when you start poking. So, guitar or mandolin strings will do the trick. they are rigid enough. Just for everyones knowledge, a .009 string goes through and so does a .011. a .016 will not, its to big. thats how tiny those center holes are. .011, not much larger. Now to get it all back together and back on the bike but first, I might was well polish the manifolds and vacuum covers while I have them off the bike. Thanks Beav and thanks everyone. Ill keep you posted. Ill try to get a video up in the near future of how she runs. (i should have done a before and after) so in case there is any question regarding how vital a good fuel filter is on a bike this should be testimony. a piece of debris smaller then a grain of sand will not fit through the jets.
