Good review and procedure for cleaning carb jets on Honda. However, how do you get the jet out if it does not "fall" out once the threaded plug is removed. I gently tried to use a welding tip cleaner to get it to drop out.........no success. Obviously you need to be careful not to disrupt the orifice in the jet.

HELP -- I removed eco throttle control before reading this post and sticky!
How else are you going to soak the carb!!? That thing has to come off, of course. I even have an online manual - after hours of searching -- and it mentions nothing about how that blasted thing goes back on!
I used my compressed air, and blew into the various fuel pickup holes in the float bowl. I blocked the various other fuel outlets in the venturi area with my hand. The Jet popped out. Be careful when you do this...You could loose the jet.
I did not soak my carb. I just used spray carb cleaner and brake cleaner.
As for the re-install of the throttle control I just put it back on.
If you are still having trouble maybe someone can help ya...
