get some carby cleaner from autobarn or wherever and spray it in the carby and rev the car at the same time, u will probably find that shitloads of black smoke will come out the back. try some wynn's spit fire too.
hope that helps

yeah but dont spray the shit down the throats like people do, spray it in the FLOAT CHAMBER VENT so it actually cleans the jets n shit

to get the carby off u need a cheep spanner cut to size so you can undo those bolts that are a bitch to get to, once the carbys off you could pull it apart and give it a good clean but while your at it you may aswell buy a carby rebuild kit for like $35.
or try and get another carby off a wreck
cheers
