    I've got my Rochester 2bbl apart for rebuild. The accelerator pump discharge retainer ( T shaped ) is frozen inside the carb. Soaked it overnight with rattle can (useless) carb cleaner and that did nothing. Needle nose really can't get a good grip on the thing so I'm stuck. Thought about putting it in the wife's oven but she'll be pissed when it stinks up her kitchen. Help !.... Dave.
     
  2. Dave,
    This is the intro page.
    Do a proper introduction and then post your question on the general discussion page.
    Good luck.

    A long shank needle-nose pliers should work well. Attempt to rotate the "T" back and forth slightly to loosen, then pull straight up. It will come out.
