As far  as the idle  
circuit is concerned, light will pass though the idle  circuit tube.   
When I tried to pass a telephone wire though the  tube, it went all of  
the way up to the last 1/32" and no  farther.  When I tried to pass  
the wire the opposite direction  though the small opening of the tube,  
again, it stops at  1/32".  I tried to use needle nose pliers to force  
the wire  though the tube by holding the wire at about 1/32" to the  
end, and  "drill" (by turning the venturi cluster while holding onto  
the wire  with the pliers) to no avail.

Now what?



Stephan,
I believe that you are encountering the idle jet constriction, intended to  
be there. Try a smaller wire. The jet restriction is about 0.030" in diam. 
How  big is a telephone wire?
