<VV> dumb question: tech guide carb idle circuit repair tip

[Dennis Pleau]

It's a piece of standard telephone wire.  I'm not sure where you would get
one now.  When I used to breadboard electrical circuits, I had a bunch.  

This goes back a few years, but you may be able to by a foot of doorbell
wire from Home Depot or Lowes and if it is solid, strip the insulation down
to the bare copper strand and you got it.

Hey folks,

     In the Corsa tech guide there is a tip for clearing the idle passages
of Corvair carbs using a strand from "Standard brand #10 wire" but I can't
find "Standard brand" anywhere...  I assume that "brand" means that Standard
is the brand name and that he doesn't just mean "any standard #10 wire",
which makes sense because it is the diameter of a single unwound strand that
is important which would likely vary from one brand to another.

     If I can't find this stuff I guess I'll have to go wire shopping with a
micrometer in hand =P.  I checked amazon and did just a googe search for
"Standard Brand wire" and had no luck finding such a brand name.  If anyone
knows where to find this (checked the local hardware store already) please
let me know, or if anyone knows a readily available alternative with the
proper thickness and stiffness required to try this trick.

Thanks!
