Well, the short answer is no. I didn't run a wire through the pilot jet gallery on these. I do usually do that on al the other carbs that I've done but it's usually to clear the jet itself, if blocked. I run my carbs that I clean through an ultrasonic cleaner as most of the time, doing so cleans hidden passages. I've tried various solutions over the years, but this time I used about 1 part Purple Power cleaner and 3 parts water. The most difficult carb that I've to deal with was the oddball carb on a Suzuki RE5 Rotary engine bike. It took several times of run it through the ultasonic cleaner, reassemble, run it (running poorly) and repeat. This seems to be a no spark to that cylinder issue as testing the spark to that side, while running, indicated it was not firing. As I posted previously, I did have spark to both sides before I took the carbs off for cleaning.
