Weber Carb - No Petrol At Accelerator Jet
Discussion
My kitcar with twin side draught webers, has stood for 6 months, is hard to start and is bogging on acceleration
Had a quick google on cleaning the jets - I have but TBH it all looks clean
However one video said a quick test is to hit the throttle with the cap off the accelerator jet 1 and fuel will come out
It does on the other 3 but not on 1
I have swapped the jets - same result
He said the fuel comes via 2 (obviously I have removed it's cap)
If I squirt fuel in 2 it comes out of 1 but no fuel is entering 2
So what do I need to clean now ?

I googled and they suggested blowing carb cleaner through with an airline
I can blow it backwards from the jet into the bowl but no petrol comes out of the bowl to the jet
I can't get my airline in, to blow it that way - but it suggests the hole is open but the pump isn't actuating IMO
