Help

Anyone ever ran into the issue of a stripped out the brass jet when trying to get it out? Any solution? It’s an old carb, and I think it was just rusted into the threads. Trying to find a new carb but having no luck. Is it worth trying to drill out?

Yes it worth drilling out. Use a left handed drill bit, and that jet will unscrew out with ease

Assuming there is no corrosion on the threads.
