I'm sure my description was confusing to some as I'm not that articulate and even confuse myself trying to read it
.
The gas adjustment valve screws into the right side of the carburetor, the choke rod attaches to it and when turned moves the gav needle in or out depending which way you turn it. I thought the only passage was where the needle goes in the bottom of the hole where the entire gav assembly goes. I could not see the other passage with light down the hole at all. But looking at the brass plug in the side of the carb I could tell where it was. I removed the cap jet and sure enough when the paper clip finally went into the passage and exited into the cap jet I could see the blockage pushed out.
I hope this makes sense enough to help someone else as this stuff isn't that hard if/once you understand it. It's easy to make a mistake though as I was confident I'd conquered the carb
