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

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
