Winter project was to dig in and clean carbs to have them ready for spring and I noticed the fuel pick-up for the enriching system in the left carb bowl is plugged. I inspected the right carb bowl and it was plugged as well. I have been following http://www.amckayltd.com/carbguide.pdf and on page 29 (shows a picture) where it appears this tube (or starter jet) is very narrow. Can someone tell me what gauge wire or drill bit I should be poking down there. Page 31 shows a take-off tube/needle jet which I have, but only on the left carb. I am assuming the right side does not need one because of the inter connecting tubes? Also assuming the left and right bowl are identical incase the operator mixed them up. Just looking for a little clarity/reassurance
