I'm having a big problem getting the emulsion tube out...it's obviously gummed up good. I've tried blowing compressed air through all ports...I even cranked up my compressor to 160psi and still nothing. I've tried tapping on the port that it's stuck in hoping to jar it lose and nothing. Is their another trick? I need help fast as I have my gen apart and I need it for a trip we're leaving for tomorrow.
I would put the carb in a pot of very warm water for a few minutes. I think maybe the carb will expand more than the tube. Other than that, blow the carb out with air, reassemble it, and go back to it when you have more time. Be careful you do not blow the tube out and loose it.

I was hoping to leave the eco throttle cable / wiring connected at the top of the carb as suggested in the first post. I've been trying to blow it out for hours..I don't think it's even budged. At this point the easier route may be to screw a very small ez-out screw extractor down the center hole and just order an new main nozzle / elusion tube. I just hope I'm able to remove any and all debris that falls in the carb as a result of using the screw extractor.
There is a little brass 'nipple' sticking through the inside of the card; it looks like its coming in from the main jet / main nozzle port...is that one end of the emulsion tube? Can I press on it and pop it out?
It has been quite a while sense I had my carb apart, so I can't answer your question.
Send bigfootford a PM, he has had his carb apart several times, and I think he had a tough time with the tube the first time. He might point you to the solution.
I still am wondering why you need to remove the tube?
This site will give you a complete carb break down. If your particular model is not at this link, you can find it at this site.
If I underestand correctly, the tube you want to remove is piece 12 (NOZZLE, MAIN (Honda Code 6727770) in the carb break down. If true, did you remove the piece 32 (JET SET, PILOT (#35) (Honda Code 1441609)? With piece 32 removed, you can insert a flat screwdriver in the throat of the carb, and using the flat side of the screwdriver, push the piece 12 down.

When looking at the diagram, find the top of 12 (emulsion tube) that tip will protrude into the inside of the venturi/throat of the carb..Remove 31 (jet) with a screwdriver. Just use the flat part of the screw driver and push 12 from the inside of the venturi. ..It will slide out enough to pull it out where 31 (jet) was screwed into.

That's exactly what I tried to do...I was pushing down pretty hard on the little nipple protruding through the main throat and I still couldn't get it to move. I wasn't sure of how much pressure to apply.
