The fix is easy to do when it's open for the kit, but it can be done
(cleaned) from the top as a trail fix if the idle messes up while
driving.

The idle tubes have a crimped end on them. It is just plain too small
and plugs up easy. Reaming them out larger fixes this and allows the
carb to just purr at idle. The tool used can be found at welding supply
shops. I have metered files used for cleaning welding torch tips that I
use.
