    I have a compressor your welcome to use, and tools, and have worked on plenty of carbs (but no expert by any means).
    hey, if we cant get them sorted at mine you can carry on to Upper Hutt to Str8 Jackets place
    if there really gummed up - a soak in carb cleaner may be good in the mean time until you give them a huff with many PSI from the compressor...
    happy to help however i can.

    Canned air from Dick Smith is what I use - I have a compressor but the canned air is better

    sometimes compressed air can blow the dirt further into the carb. The Dick smith can air and carb cleaner are best ways.
