Weber Main Jet Stuck
I have a main jet stuck in my 46mm PMO's . The main jet carrier broke off as I tried to remove it. I removed the broken carrier but the main jet is frozen inside. I have soaked it in everything to no avail. Of course I have been very careful not to damage the jet or carb, prob too careful. Any suggestions, Thanks

so the jet is still in the carb with the broken piece or out of the carb in the broken piece?

the brass can bind in the pot metal. i went through this a while back. drilled the jet out as much as possible and used a straight flute easyout. lube it too. a spiral easyout can expand the piece and cause more binding as it's twisted. if it resists, maybe heat it in the oven.
