Thanks! I didn't have that manual, so I added that to my electronic library. Ed

The parts under the Primary Main Jet are called Bleed Pipes. To get them out you need to push them out from inside the carb body. I use a sharp piece of wood dowel so as to not mark them up. Same thing for the Needle jet; push down from inside the carb throat.

Well progress! I was able to get the bleed pipes and needle jets out! However I first tried to use a pointed dowel to do this. And I ended up breaking off a piece of the dowel in both ends of one of the bleed pipes. They are stuck in there! Trying to figure out how to remove them.

One strand of a wire brush works well for clearing out pilot jets and jets like those bleed pipes.
