It has been my experience with some seriously plugged jets/orifices over the years, that I could clear them with an appropriately small drill and what machinists/jewelers call a "pin vise".
Since you cannot get thru the jet at all, select a drill bit that is smaller than the equivalent jet from a good carb. Tighten it into the pin vise, and begin the process of gently twisting the bit into the blockage. Use a magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe to try to identify the nature of the blockage.
If it appears to be rather "glass-like", it is prolly sand or similar, and that jet is prolly toast. If the material seems to be giving up to the drill, proceed with the drilling until you are thru it, then decide whether the jet is serviceable. :waving:
