you will need to soak them, pull the welch plugs out as well to make sure you get all the crud out behind the idle transfer ports

I did pull the welch plugs, there really wasn't any thing there.

I'll pull them and soak them before i do the link and sync

thanks

most people dont know about the welch plugs or how to install them back in place.

Found out about them them on YouTube.
Any tips on putting them back? The video I saw the guy used a socket extension and just hit it a few times with a hammer. That's what I did was that right or wrong? I'll link the video

yeah, that works, we used to paint the edges with nail polish before ethanol fuel came out, don't know how that would hold up now a days, I paint the edges of the external plugs with nail polish or gasola if you can find it
