I cleaned the carbs (chem-dip, rinse, air gun) last summer and rode it. Ran the bike through with sta-bil, then ran the carbs dry before storing it. When I did the work, I looked over the carb quickly and the jets weren't clogged, so I swapped the main jets to the 190 and put them back in the bike. Since the carbs will be coming off again, I'll dunk them in the chem dip. As far as the air jet, I always blow the passages out after dipping the carbs, but they are un-modified and perhaps something came dislodged?
To properly clean the carbs you must dissamble them and remove the jets, then clean them with parts cleaner (e.g. Chem-Dip), then rinse and blow out with air gun. Dunking alone does not do much. The pilot and needle jet are usually the things that clog up first. I used to use a toothbrush on mine with Chem-Dip before I got my ultrasonic cleaner.
Oh im sorry I did disassemble them fully. Should have mentioned that.
