clean carb w/o a compressor?

[jasper60103]

Well, I never done a carb before, but now I may have to.
I don't own a compressor except for a 12V tire pump.
edit: Even with the small nozzle attached it doesn't blow hard enough.

Can you use the spray
carb cleaner to blow it out, or do you have to
use a compressor?

you can buy a can of the compressed air also with the nozzle on it it does fine.....spray and wire the orfices ..I use a wire bread tie with the plastic removed....spray the cleaner in wire the orfices...blow them out with canned air

I have used spray carb cleaner in a pinch. Do as AI-53 suggested, and clean passages with a fine wire and then blow out with carb cleaner.
