I had the idle cut-off jet vibrate loose on my  possessed left carb on 
Sophy on the way back from the Colorado Springs  Invasion.  It did not fall all 
the way out, but it did make for poor  running.  Big air-leak on that carb.  




Like John said, they mainly fail by falling out, or getting knocked  
against something. I've had both sides try and vibrate out before I swapped to  
the mechanical version. Once I did that, I didn't have any more issues with  
them. I think I did that back in 1992 or there abouts. They're still in that  
set of carbs, and they're on my 65 Notch. I'd like to say I got them from 
CIP,  but it could have AirCooled.net, or CB Performance. I've slept since 
then.  ;-)
