another one here who has seen many steel plugs. The case for the engine I'm currently messing with has all steel plugs
I've also never needed to clean a jet, or known father to have ever done so. But all the engines were rebuilt and cleaned. Then used with 'classic' multigrade motor oil.
The engine im messing with is a 'used' one ex ebay. It is disgusting inside in places (there was no gauze in it). And some repairs (inc one by me LOL!) are questionable. IF all is well when I get it to run, its going to get a lot of oil changes at very low miles. So I can see why a jet might block. There was a horrible gritty black residue on the lip that the gauze bolts to.
