Welcome from NY, not far from the Ct border. I have a 78k the pressed on jets are really easy to remove. A good plier and wiggle a bit while you pull upward and they pop right out. When you have them clean, line them up and tap back into place.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

My pleasure. Just do it patiently and it will be fine. Check the Accel punp. It stores a tiny amount of gas in it, so it can gum up quickly. Just undo the lower screws of the pump and make sure everything is clear.
