ebinmaine 79,127 #5 Posted yesterday at 06:54 PM I don't have any here that small. There's a place in Washington state if I remember right. Mike's carburetor. Google search that and measure your own plugs carefully and give them a call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google search that and measure your own plugs carefully and give them a call. Measuring the hole might be better than trying to measure a plug that has been wrecked when removed. Calipers would be best but if you have a good drill set you may be able to use that as plug gauges. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I run them through the ultrasonic cleaner at least 3 to 5 cycles. Often more. When you're done with the UC - spray a whole can of brake cleaner through all the ports and orifices every which way but loose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to work good and lasts well. I do NOT use the heat cycle. I do have the thinner in a separate smaller vessel and surrounded by water in the machine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff w 4 #11 Posted 8 hours ago Thank you for the info. I'm taking carb to someone who uses them regularly. He insists it will flush out under/behind plugs. Will see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
