Steve , the best way to clean carbs is in an ultra sonic cleaner.

Hi Scott, yea mate I know. Anyway as I didn't manage to put a picture up I'll try to explain where It's blocked. If you were looking at them with the filters off, the opening (mouth) has 4 holes and a sort of crescent shaped one at the top OK. On number 2 carb the hole on the left upper is blocked. When I put compressed air through all the others I get air coming out the hole opposite. Wish I could post pics, it would be so much easier to explain. Just wondered if this is normal or should it be clear ? Thank you to all replies, $

I managed to clear it by very lightly putting a wooden toothpick down there and fiddling about. Seems OK now. :D
