Hey guys, had this motor running great last year, got some bad gas, and its been bad ever since. I've tried rebuilding the carb by using carb cleaner and compressed air, but havent removed the jet. Any ideas on how the jet is removed from this carburetor?

Also, the float, does the end with the rib go down towords the bowl, or up towords the jets when reassembled? thanks!
