Cleaning a slow jet

[bluej58]

I'm cleaning the carb on my Dream project and everything looks good but I can't see any light through the slow jet and would like to know what I can run through it with out damaging it .

It is a stock 35

Thank you,

If you have a wire wheel on a bench grinder a wire from it will be useful. ..........lm

I usually cut the sheath off a piece of stranded copper wire. Then take one strand to clean the jet.

Thanks for the ideas guys .
I remembered that I had some old guitar strings and I grabbed an 11 which is .011 of an inch
and converts to 0.2794 mm
and pushed it through.

So if I can find a .013 I'll get it to 0.3302 mm

If I can find a .014 it would be just a little bit bigger 0.35559999999999997 mm
and I guess that wouldn't be the end of the world but a 14 gauge guitar string is kind of a bastard size.

...or you could just use a piece of wire from a wire wheel and run some carb cleaner through it as a chaser :)
