New to the forum! Carb question.

[turkdc]

I have a keihin vb42b carb on my honda.  The idle jets are pressed in deeply in the tube in the carb bodies.  Is there a way to remove these without destroying the jets?  I am having a heck of a time cleaning them as they are...  Any help will be appreciated!

I do not know about your carbs for absolute sure but my 78 carbs have the press in idle jet. I wrapped some cloth around them and grabbed them with a pliers and twisted and pulled. Maybe post the type of bike they come from and you might have more luck.

I appreciate the advice, the problem is my idle jets don't stick out of the tube.  There is nothing to grab with pliers.  I am considering just drilling them out and replacing them...

There is confusion here without a photo-be careful!
