Hi all,
What suggestions do you all have for replacing the small brass plugs that seal the carb passageways? They're made of brass originally, I believe. Can I use heavy copper copper wire, or does it have to be brass? Thanks for your help.

Just be sure you don’t thread the screw in so far as to block the passage way.

I had brass screws on a shelf that worked.

Copper wire of appropriate gage would be fine, many use brass filler rod. I've used brass rod 'tinned' with solder to insure a tighter fit.

I've had no trouble using Uncle Stan's method.
