    Hey guys, what's the latest booger pilot jet extraction method?

    So I am aware this is common, so without completely ruining everything with my nit-wit hands, I just want to know if there are any clever new methods of removing this pesky guy.

    I am aware of: Using propane heat, heat/cooling, ez outs, left handed drill, drilling and using torx, and using lubes like PB (which I have been using))

    So anyway, I'm on the verge of having a longer night than expected if i twist one more time with a flat head.

    Also, I'll have to go out and buy anything other than "common items/tools." All I have is pb blaster and a variety of common tools and heads.

    Oh last thing- I'm broke! So I perfer the 'ol reliable' poor man's method. But yeah yeah yeah I know, it's good to invest in such tools.. you know what I mean.

    You have everything else out, throw it in the dip.
    Can't hurt, might help loosen the jet.

          Got the booger out with some valucraft carb cleaner spray. Came out looking gnarly but worked.. well. Sweet.
