i don't have experience with this, but drilling is a little drastic isn't it? maybe a spiral type extractor will do the job? just an idea

yeah, the spiral type extrators work great. Get a small one from Home Despot

Don't drill them! If you get brass chips up in the carbs passages, they will never come out!!!

Go get a small screw extractor (EZ out) and use the existing hole in the jet.
