I'm having problems removing the needle jet on my #4 carb. I did the "push the screw driver into the main jet" trick on the others which came out no problem. but #4 is corroded(green) and it is very jammed in there. I Tried taping it out which got it to move, but it won't slide out. any suggestions? I currently have it soaking in penetrating oil

leave it soaking for an hour or 2 then try again.1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion! -
When you tap on it on your next removal attempt, use something rather solid, but soft, like a wooden dowel.
You don't want to flare the end of the tube to jam it in place.

I soak them in PJ Blaster for a couple of hours and use the non-tapered end of the choke rod to lightly tap it out without the main jet or washer.
If it doesn't move while LIGHTLY tapping then use some heat as Ed suggested.Comment
