I heard before of someone cleaning the passages of a DLTX carb with a #40 and a #53 drill bit.
I am having problems cleaning the idle circuit on my DLTX 67. Are these fairly common drill bits? or do they have to be special ordered?

I already bought some new brass plugs from deere, I may destroy a couple getting them out.

Get a set of tip cleaners for an acetylene welding torch. They are all different sizes, and a whole set won't cost you what one drill bit costs. They are also flexible, and you won't enlarge the holes with them unless you work real hard at it.

If you are just learning, Roberts video would be extremely helpfull, I highly recomend it. Explaines the how & why of the DLTX series carbs. You will also need the long drill bits he sells.

Moto, the Robert Beaver web site posted below used to have cut away pics of those carbs showing what and where of all the pasasages that need cleaning (if not the good ol clooney has the pics)(or I have them in my Roberts Catalog) and he sells the aircraft drill bits which are like 4 inches long so they reach where needed. Ive never had any luck using wire only, the bits worked best for me. If you heat the old brass drill plugs, stop as soon as the flame gets that funny off green color and let them cool and they come out easy usually. Robert has all the new gaskets required also. I remove and clean and wire brush the nozzle also and needle seat and everything that comes apart, and be sure the float bowl is not leaking. Good Luck, Ol John T Nordhoff

Moto:

Some people use Mig welding wire first & the drill as a last resort. Be careful with the drills if you don't have the correct size you can alter the carb metering.

Roberts carb has the correct drills. http://www.robertscarbrepair.com/tools.htm

If you heat the Brass plugs with a torch using a small flame until you get a green flash, then let them cool they will come out easily.
