*Well, you probably ought to try it!  The emulsion tubes (2) in each Weber
DCOE 40 carburetors (2) on my Lotus Elan S1 each had **about 15 tiny holes
that were prone to plug from some gasoline residue which just happened in a
car that sat idle for weeks at a time . . I'd lose one throat and one
cylinder in most cases . . the gunk would resist carb cleaner, air blasts
and even my ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, but I could pop them out and  give
them a poke with .013 tag wire in about 5 minutes .  Tag wire is a damn fine
carburetor tool used intelligently.      *
