Stromberg 97 Jet Tool

A client brought me his vintage wooden race boat with a flathead Ford equipped with Edelbrock heads, Offy intake and two Stromberg 97 carbs. The carburetors had been sitting with water in them over the winter. I tore them down to put them in the ultrasonic cleaner. The main jets require a special tool which I do not have.

The cavity for the tool is small and I had nothing that would directly fit.

I found a short piece of 7/32 square brass tubing that when hammered on worked perfectly.

Chances are I will not need it again but I have it and it only took a minute to make...
