carb drill bits

brcree
 My biken buddy showed me a gift he got from a mechanic the other day. A cool set of dentist drill bits....great for cleaning out those tiny spots in your carb system! Not sure where to get a set but ...good idea!

There is 2 camps on this topic. Some feel it is ok to use drill bits and some dont. I would not just for cleaning as the flutes will start removing metal. I also wouldn't either as jets are designed to work as a venturi. If you drill them out, that effect is gone. best thing for cleaning the jets out is just to use a thin strand of copper wire or a carb cleaning tool shown on this page. It is #9. It will clean virtually any jet.
