Welch Plug or Core Plug on a Carburetor- Remove Without a Drill - Easy! (by Craig Kirkman)

[@DivergentDroid]

I just used your method and it worked Great. I don't own a drill or good self taping screws so I used an awl from a Swiss army knife to make a starter hole then used an screw eye to screw into the plug. I liked this very much because it got really hard to turn and I had to use a pair of pliers to turn the screw eye. I could not have done that without the screw eye head to grab into with the pliers. I was a little off center, but it worked just fine. Thanks.

Awesome. Thank you for letting me know. I really appreciate your feedback. I’ve pinned your comment. Hope that’s ok 👍

[@DivergentDroid]

@@TheRepairSpecialist That's just fine. Hope it helps someone. Getting to the fuel screw and trying to adjust it didn't help my scooter stay running. Tomorrow my project will be to slot out the screws that hold the float bowl together so I can clean the jets.

Using a self-taping screw was very impressive. All other removing styles needed a drill. I really like you alternative method. . Thank You

Worked great. Outboard running it’s best now.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Great to hear! Thank you. Craig

[@justinc9911]

very nice. is it possible that the Welch plug is under the carb in front of the air intake hole??

[@frogfoot198]

Well done sir! Indeed a better alternative.

[@metheewatchakittikorn4796]

If this plug was put on while manufactured, why do we have ot remove it? I'm just curious what those little holes inside are for?

[@TylerTheBassCreator]

Adjustment screw underneath it

[@metheewatchakittikorn4796]

@@TylerTheBassCreator Thank you very much

[@jtaylor2563]

Do they make those plugs out of plastic also?

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

I personally haven’t seen anything like that on a small carb like this

[@bobadams1696]

Very helpful. I’ll try it.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Awesome. Thanks

Thanks for sharing this informative video

When I tapped the screw onto my plug to try and thread it through the plug only sunk down to the air screw. Trying to raise it back up I broke a small pick off in the pilot hole. Any suggestions now?

[@aannddrreeww1000]

This is exactly what I’m afraid of doing. I’m going to use a drill and I tiny drill bit. I Dont want to compress the thin plug even deeper down the hole, making it even harder to extricate. Hmmm!

[@MrChickensnatcher]

Can a carburetor run without a wlech plug?

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

To be honest. Ive never tried. I don’t hold much hope that it will.

[@DivergentDroid]

The carb will run without a welch plug but the bike may refuse to move on principle that it was violated. 😁

[@themowerman]

Good video..

I usually just produce a picture of my ex-wife - they come right out and leave the room all on their own.
