[AT] Ford 1841 fuel problem

[Lew Best]

Thanks Steve

I run copper wire (= soft; not going to scratch the jets) thru them & then
blow them out with about 125 psi compressed air.  I will be sure to check
the gaskets though.

I would run a guitar string through the jets and passages. Then make 
sure that the gaskets are correct. Had an small engine a few years ago 
that a guy rebuilt that would run for less than a minute and died. 
Turned out that one of the fuel passages was partly blocked by a miss 
punched hole.
