And now my float valve is sticking open. Never stuck before. Was super careful with it.
It. Never. Ends.

Neat trick with the sewing needle and surgical hemostat. Small guitar string works as well - less brittle than a sewing needle too. Would not want to break one off in there.

You can also buy these from most auto parts and welding supply stores they work great for cleaning out jets.

I started to use a guitar string, but since the bypass ports are graduated I would had to use a ton of different gauges or wiggled a small one, which didn't excite me. The tapered needle point work perfect. |
