Motor has been sitting for awhile and the main jet has corrosion in it. I cleaned it out and it now runs OK but I haven't tried it under load. I used a small number drill to carefully remove the obstruction but I'm not sure if I have it all as it looks like there is still some hard muck in there.
I'm over cautious putting bigger drills through it as I only want to remove crud, not brass.
Does anyone know what the orifice size it for this jet? This is off the tag... OR111033 ME6ML 4ST

No joy on that serial, but a 2001-up 6hp (0R411-up) main jet is a #75 and the pilot jet is a #45.
Serials below that are a #68 for the main and the pilot can be either a #42 (MY 2000-up) or a #45 (Bodensee carb)
Welder's tip cleaners work great for cleaning carbs without the damage drills can do.

I'm sure it is the #68 main jet but what size hole is this likely to be? Tip cleaners.... great idea!
