[QUOTE="bib, post: 209807, member: 3406"] The accelerator pump nozzles on mine were plugged also. The openings on them are tiny...I ended up using compressed air through a blowgun I found at work that someone had adapted a long tube to the end (a piece of metal brake tubing, I think). I blew them back into the carbs instead of trying to blow them out the nozzle end. When the bowls are full and you crank the throttle all the way fuel will shoot out about a foot from each nozzle. That fuel barb on carb #3 has o-rings and can be removed. If you don't have gauges to sync the carbs and don't want to spend a bunch of money I got a single vacuum gauge at Auto Zone for about $20. You will need a set of nipples for the intake tubes (Motion Pro 5mm I think) and will need a vacuum check valve...only a couple of dollars at an aquarium supply place. The gauge I got also works for pressure so I was able to check my fuel pump output pressure. I know that balancing the carbs with a single gauge is tedious...and not actually the right way to do it but it can be done. Our Wings run like shit when the carbs are badly out of sync. [/QUOTE]
