A while back while I was cleaning the carbs, I noticed the pilot jet was stuck in there. I didn't want to press the issue and create any problems so I left it in there. Afterwards, I synchronized the carbs with vacuum gauges and got her running pretty good.
All of the jets in these carbs are the originals (30 years old). I suppose the question is, would it be wise to replace the jets since they are so old as to not risk another one getting stuck in there like the pilot did? Will the pilot jet start coming apart or cause damage if I try to remove it? I know jets don't have an expiration date but I am curious as to what yalls opinion is on the matter of old jets.
