Same ampacity, but different manufacturers, different number of strands 
of a different size than the other guy -- Like Smitty, try finding a 
hunk o' wire that fits.  More strands, like Boat Wire, generally means a 
higher quality wire -- definitely more flexible.

Aerosol lubricants (like WD-40) also work well for cleaning carb 
passages -- no high pressure air to mess something up, and easy visual 
clue to results -- and they come with a nice little tube for sticking 
into holes -- wear safety  face shield.
