the fuel valve was clogged with all kinds of good stuff. then i cleaned out the fuel bowl which was horribly clogged and i cleaned out the main fuel line my question is how to get the reserve unclogged. i scraped as much out as possible with a wire and kept flushin it out but its still clogged. right now its sittin in gas its been in there for about a half hour im gonna go take it out now see howit is. any responses will help ill write back and tell what the outcome is

Yamaha markets an outstanding carburetor cleaner; a mix of one part cleaner to three parts gasoline is recommended--you may want to use a stronger concentration on a valve clogged that badly--if you can't disassemble it and clean it mechanically, maybe some of this joy juice will do the job; heed 20blaster00's advice about eye protection.
