You will get a bunch of answers. My standard answer to questions such as yours is to disassemble the carb, and put the whole thing into true carb cleaner and let it set over night. Blow it out with compressed air and although you can't do this with all passages, when you blow air in it should come out somewhere. I never do anything to the jets, they might break anyway.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
