    How do I clean this passage?

    this passage is clogged on my #3 carb, its the lower one in this pic, I have tried everything in my garage, left is soak for a day, still no luck. any ideas? Any special tools I can buy that will work?

    passage lowest in the pic, the tiny pressed in jet, I can get through until the passage seems to make a turn.

    thanks!

    Just an FYI I got through it with one of these https://www.amazon.com/Carb-Cleaner-.../dp/B001DDMB2I

    Had to tweak it a bit to make the corner but worked. Might be the first positive k&l post I have seen on here in my short duration. Same day shipping sold me otherwise would have went another direction.

        Guitar strings. No need to order. Just walk upstairs and open a guitar case.

          I always have an old bicycle cable or motorcycle cable on hand. Unravel a single strand to length and snip it off. Makes for an excellent little snaking tool.

            A slinky "e" string from a guitar will work.
