for the removal of that internal jet, i used an old screw-driver, which i ground down the sides and the tip, so it would just fit down inside that hole, and fit the slot snugly. then, with some moderate pressure, i got it loose, and got it out, carefully! That tool is now part of my mower repair kit! I don't use it very often, but when i need it, i really need it! If you are careful, the gaskets can be used again! but be sure to blow out all of the jets, etc, and watch for any small parts that like to jump out and roll or fly away! "WOW!! i'm free at last!!" is what i've heard them say, as they roll or fly away to some inaccessible, or unseeing spot, never to be found again, until, 20 years later, somebody says: "Wonder what that funny looking thing is for!" Especially that little Viton seat in the more modern Tecumseh Carbs! "Uh-oh, whut was that thing that flew out?"
