Have done exactly that job, used the guide in the last post.
Worked a treat, I think it's a very common problem.

Let us know how it goes!
I did the re solder on my old k11, and on a few friends, and it always makes a massive difference to fuel economy, throttle response and idling.
Takes less than an hour to do, and all you need is a soldering iron and some sealant.
don't be surprised if in a year or so it has to be done again though, as i found with a friends one recently
