RE: Thermoquad needs help

[Sean B <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Got no responses to this, so it must have stumped the carb guys on the 
list.  Here is how I fixed it:  I removed the carb and flipped it, then 
sprayed carb cleaner through the nipple.  The barest trickle came out.  
Took out my biggest Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass.  Turns out the 
casting was bad, and this hole wasn't drilled out.  Drilled it out, 
works like new now.  Letting everyone know in case they come across this 
in the future.
