Perhaps, or maybe dirty glasses. Curse you, inaccurate light refraction!! :evil:
Guy, go wash your mouth out with soap!

Sheesh, man! Third time today!! :smile:
Seriously, dude, you can see it. I don't think anyone outside of New Mexico has photographed it though.

Your first sentence does not make sense. Bottom line is if you can't get cleaner to spray through the hole, or see Wheelz Roswell light, it ain't clean and you will not have solved the problem. BUT... never give up. I think some politician said that. Winston Churchill? Anyway, you're not the first to tackle the problem and not the first one to almost give up. But don't. You are closer than you think. Trust me on that.

i almost gave up...* i almost bought a brand new carb, but the guys on this forum insisted so i armed myself with a guitar string and carb cleaner blasted into it by a compressed air nozzle. it will clear. that little tube is the devil.

Doesn't really matter, as long as you get it clear. It's easier to do from the bottom side. I prefer carb cleaner over air pressure.
