It's a pretty good size passage, I might try it sometime.

So I accessed the idle jet from the bottom of the metering block. It is indeed .022" I opened it up to .033" I've JB welded the set screws and will give it overnight to cure before it start it up again.

Thanks again guys for all the tips.

Actually I don't understand how this would help at WOT. It's just a small air passage. Yes? I
At idle, consuming 4 to 6 cfm, or maybe 8-10 with a high idle rpm, the compensator will flow a small but noticible percentage of that.
At mid to high rpm, WOT, its going to be a tiny fraction of a percent.
(It's not like a bleed into the circuit which alters the pressure difference and the density.)

Here's some of Mike's tips on removing those tubes without damage.

That might be easier than drilling from the bottom unless you have a cross vise on a milling machine or drill press and can index the well accurately???
