Are you trying to remove the fixed high speed jet, or the carb nozzle that is threaded into the center of the upper carburetor body? Like others have said, trying to remove the fixed high speed jet without the proper jet screwdriver usually results in damage to the jet and the threads….So, it may be best to soak the carb bowl in strong carb cleaner. Sometimes you can pass a small pipe cleaner through the fixed jet to help clean it also…
The main body nozzle simply threads into the body…Using a large screwdriver should easily remove it….If the nozzle is stuck also, I wouldn’t risk damaging it by forcing it out with the screwdriver. I would soak the upper body in strong carb cleaner as well…
