Re: A small hole in the carburetor

Nice sleuthing, Michael-
The hole you've put the wire in is the idle circuit air intake passage.
That passage is where air is pulled through to the idle jet, located behind the slide.
Was that extra hole in the slide floor there all the time, or only after the vinegar soak?
Anyway, you'll want to be careful your patch job does not obstruct free air flow through that passage back to the idle jet.
