Didn't even take carbs off of the engine. stuffed a rag with a small amount of grease on it down the carb bore. drilled the hole and of course most if not all of the chips came away from the internals. Used a special aluminum magnet (Q-tip with grease on it) to gather up the chips. These pieces of alum are so tiny that I think if any did make their way into the combustion chamber they would be vaporized and would cause no damage.
Definitely improved the mid range driveability.

Hello Bill,
Great job! I do have a question is this item for sale or rent? I’m also curious to know if it’s possible to add the other two holes to the tool so when one aligns the 2 existing holes with the tool, the placement of the third hole would be symmetrical instead of eyeballing the third hole to the 12 o’clock position going from carb to carb. Just a suggestion.
Thanks,
