You are. Spider my arse.

Sesman:
The best way I’ve found to clear idle/ slow jets is to heat in a flame. This turns the resin fuel deposit into ash. I then push a plain wire through the jet (say 0.38mm through a 40# jet). The risk of damaging the jet is absolutely minimal…it’s brass and durable. I wouldn’t use a serrated type cleaner you associate with welding nozzles though. Though to be fair even these would have a hard time causing detrimental damage if used with care and the correct size. Jet cleaning is the easy bit, the internal carb passages are more challenging. Get to understand the three points of entry in the pilot passage ways and block them to force carb cleaner through the various routes. I found my jets were clear, but the passages needed a lot of attention.

If I curl up my index finger to make a really tiny hole and look close up through it at a light, without glasses on, I can see a sort of web pattern… just an observation!
