My #3 carb accelerator jet is plugged.  Anyone have a tip on how to get it unplugged?

Try un doing the fuel hose that leads to that carb from the accelerator pump and spray carb clean into it.
Then alternate with compressed air.

What Lucky said.

If you pull that side of the carb bank a part. You can plug up the other side of the fuel feed lines, With your finger. Carb or brake cleaner then compressed air.
Simple if some one else can, why can't I

Thanks for those tips!  I also found another tip in my collection of info about using a high E metal guitar string and it fit that accelerator jet hole perfectly.  Unplugged it immediately then I used compressed air to blow through the jet to blow whatever it was out of the tube.  Had better flow in that jet than any of the others so I did the same thing to all of them, made big difference.
