Default Q jet primary fuel discharge

I'm not getting any fuel out of what I think is the primary discharge nozzles on the Q jet. The logical solution would be that something is plugged. First, does this hypothesis make sense or is there a deeper cause? Second, if the passages are clogged, what is the best way to clean them out? Also, FWIW, the carb is off a Caddy (7029232).

In the first picture, what RPM was the engine at?

In the second, were you goosing the throttle to get fuel to discharge there? It looks like the accelerator pump discharge. If it is that is normal when giving it throttle.

Car was turned off at this point. I'll have to take a look at it when it's running. Right now, I have the idle set at 800 RPM.
