I havnt personally cleaned one of those carbs, but other stock honda carbs i have cleaned, elite, express, etc it seemed the hole right angles so wire wont go all the way thru. But thats def the best way to clean it. Or at least loosen up the old dirt, go from bowl up also, then shoot carb cleaner to clear it, or soak it..
