I don't the "GGM" would post pics of his "less than masculine" dog in the passenger seat of his Cobra, as said Cobra sits in the garage. And then claim that he took his dog out for a ride, when there's no evidence to suggest the car left the garage.

I was surprised that his car is out of the bag this time of year.

As for this thread, I'll once again pass along advice that I was sternly given when I first started... I'd have to go back and find the post to recall who gave me this advice, but here it is: "Please don't feed the Patrick"

Patrick, where do you find a smaller straw, and how does it stay in the larger hole of the carb cleaner nozzle without squirting out at that joint?

Well, since you asked so politely.... The little red plastic tube that comes with a can of carburetor cleaner fits fine in to the two larger idle air bleeds on the primary side of the carburetor, but it does not fit my other six air bleeds (two high speed on the primary side, two high speed on the secondary side, and two smaller idle bleeds on the secondary side). You can order a tube that fits them off of Amazon and that fits inside the existing tube. I bought a translucent amber miniature polyimide tubing, 15 AWG, 0.0571" ID, 0.0596" OD, 0.00125" wall, and it fits inside the regular red plastic tube perfectly. You insert the smaller tube inside the red tube and then apply some glue, after you've pushed it in a bit, as you're pushing the rest of it up as far as it will go. That way it seals itself inside but there's no glue to clog it up on the inside. Then, after it has dried, just trim off both ends. It then fits in tight on the nozzle of the carb cleaner, and the little extruding end fits perfectly in the smaller air bleeds. I can hear Chas and RodKnock now saying, "well, you gotta hand it to him, that's a stroke of genius." Of course, here's a pic...
