Get your self a long needle tip for your blow gun hooked to a good hi-pressure compressor and try to blow out from the corner passage in the float bowl.I slam them down on a plank of heavy wood sometimes it will come out that way.It must come out and be free to fall out on its own when turned upside down. Ive also as last resort carefully drilled out the lead ball plug the front one [2 lead plugged holes] at the bottom of the AP chamber on the outside of the carb. That passage leads to the under side of the ball.Use a pick with the very end bent upwards slightly,its a bitc* to get out. Good luck,let me know if it comes out? ken ct. Do not try to drill out the ball,bad advice.
