One trick I use to clear a carb, is to take the air cleaner off, start the engine, rev the engine up as you place your hand over the opening to the carb, and remove it. Do this several times. If there is small amount of trash the vacuum from the motor this will occasionally pull it through. If there are other issues with the carb, this probably will not help.
