hey, just pulled the carb off this motor. going to go ahead and put a kit in it. The motor is a running motor. Just wanted to do a tune up. Shows in the service manual that you need a special tool to remove the orifice plug which is behind the drain screw. Would it be ok to leave that plug in and just spray carb cleaner in there and then blow out with compressed air. Thx

You can use a piece of fine wire to check and make sure the jet is open, then clean it with spray cleaner and used compressed air to make sure it is open.
