Mikunis an Amal clone? From all the bad I've heard about amals and the
good I've heard about mikuni are you sure? The amals on my eldo looked
nothing like the mikunis I've seen (not a lot of mikunis seen tho...)
Amal retentive....good one!

Not sure if this was meant to go to the list, but the best way is to soak in solvent and blow it out with compressed air. Keep a steady grip on the jet or it may end in orbit, center the air on the jet or it will burn your fingers. If repeated soaks and blowing don't work, you can do what every carb manual in the world tells you not to do. Work a small wire thru it. The risk is that you may enlarge the jet and ruin it's calibration. I use stranded copper wire--take one strand and work it thru. Since the jets are brass, there is less likely hood of reaming while cleaning, since the wire is quite soft. The other thing to do, if you are not as incredibly cheap as I sometimes are, is to go down to the Guzzi store, or write Mark, and just buy a new one. Jets are usually $2-3 for most bikes, although, one never knows with Guzzis. I just rebuilt my flat slides. I've had extensive experience with Amals, and their clones--Mikunis. The flat slide Del Orto is certainly an beautiful piece of work. Made to be rejetted when stopping for lunch when changing altitude, and just beautifully constructed.
