Trash in the needle and seat

[Sixt8Chrgr]

I just rebuilt my carb on my 69 RT. The carb is the OEM AVS which ran fine after the rebuild but shortly after developed a heavy flooding situation during idle. I am guessing a little trash is the culprit. I was going to remove the fuel line seal off the end, start the car and run all the gas out of the carb. Once dry was going to take a little air and blow in the fuel inlet in hopes of trying to blow out the trash. I read about doing this on another forum but the carb was on a 63 Vette. So did not know if the construction of these carbs was so different there would be no chance this would work on my car?. If it doesn't then I will just remove the carb and pull the top off then try and clean it out or look for trash. Does this sound like it may work?

Thanks

it could but if the trash is large it could plug up a jet.
