I have installed a new fuel tank, primer bulb and all fuel hoses. I have disasembled the carbs and cleaned them. But I could not get the main tube
that has a few small holes in it not sure what its called. Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to help.
 
Having to use the choke clearly indicates there is a restriction in the carburetors !------Did you remove the high speed jets from the bottom of the float bowls ? --They are the ones screwed in and about 5/8" long.
 
The tube you are talking about is the (main emoulsion tube) this tube is pressed in and not removable (do not try) also did you notice a very small tube inside the larger tube, this is the idle/low speed circut again do not try to remove also it is not in the center of the larger tube (its made that way) do not try to center or damage tip.
As racerone advised check high speed jets, these can be checked without removing, just remove cover screw and make sure its clean into bottom of bowl.
