I have a carb that is plugged solid with carbon (I'd guess) right where the tube exits the base. I have tried pouring laquer thinner into the tube and let it soak overnight, tried poking a 14 ga. wire through it, all to no avail. Please help. thanks.

This is done after it is dissasembled & any gas dried out.
