    You don't need to remove this, its a pressed in piece. Best you can do is pass some wire through it and use carb-cleaner and air. Thats it! Get a proper manual, clymers sux btw.

    Like he ^^^ sez, don't attempt to remove. If you can blow air through the tube and hear it emerge from the choke plunger hole, tube is clear and AOK.

    The tubes are plugged solid. No air or cleaner getting through...i was thinking of using a very tiny drill bit to chew through the gunk but unfortunately i am not sure if it is a straight run, so for now i keep soaking in cleaner and try to push through with a wire....
    Thanks for the response Squirrelman

    I/t IS a straight run. Try the drill if soaking or wire doesn't clear them.

    what size is your drill bit and how far did you stick it in? An electric guitar string, e.g. 15, should push through almost 2 inches if it is cleared out.

    The drill bit was extremely tiny, wire really didnt have any effect. The bit only drilled a very small distance...best guess a mm...or less...afterwards the wire went right through without any problems as well as the cleaner/spray.
