    can't unblock fuel intake on carb

    Hey everyone, I have a mikuni VM 22 Carb from my 1985 225DX and I can't seem to unblock whatever is inside the fuel intake pipe, or something further inside the Carb. I've tried spraying Carb cleaner inside however it just shoots back out at me. I've also tried using compressed air which was able to get some of the crap out, however the pipe still isn't clear. Any suggestions of what I should do now?

    Try blowing it out from the other direction from the float valve . Let it soak if you need to .

    Post a picture. Maybe that particular passage isn't what it seems, and if someone recognizes that carb they can confirm whether it should be clear.

    I was able to unclog it, had to take off the bottom of the Carb, take off the float and then used compressed air in the cable where the small pin attached to the float goes. Hopefully it'll start now!

    Will do, still waiting on an o-ring and a gasket but once they come in everything should work

    just picked up and installed the new starter set and gasket on the carb and what do you know the thing started right up right away, all seems well now
