Soldering jets
 
I am experimenting with Idle jet holder sizes on Weber carbs. I want to plug the larger hole and re-drill a smaller hole. Can I use regular resin core plumbing solder or should I use silver solder? This will be a perminate fix since the holders sell for $12.95 x 8!

Wouldn't a little JB Weld be easier?%/

I have soldered brass Holly jets shut and then drilled them to the diameter I wanted. It works fine.

i've read of people doing this, haven't tried it. would acid core be more appropriate and resin core for electrical?
