The needle could damage the jet mate! Especially if its a pilot or similar.

Soak jet overnight in diesel/petrol to break up the crud and blow through with compressed air. Lighter gas in a can works quite well too if no compressor! Solvent and pressurised gas in one. Usually come with selection of nozzles to get good fit into jet too!
