    PUlled carbs back off

    Still having problems with no. 4 cyl. not firing. Plenty of spark and good compression, so I went ahead and pulled the carbs again. Opened up no. 4 carb and pilot jet is completely plugged. I swear I was able to get the "special tool" to go through it before. I'm guessing that some of the brass that got boogered up in the removal attempt may have worked its way down in there. So, anyway, gotta get that thing outa there. Guess I'll be looking for some PB blaster today and a reverse drill bit. At least I know what the problem was.....I hope.

    I've had similar problems in the past....usually on #4, for some reason. Anyway, with a little patience, it's pretty easy to remove the pilot jets on either #1 or #4 without pulling the carbs.
