I just purchased an '86 Sportster, it's been sitting in a garage for two years. No stabil was added to the gas in the tank. I've replaced the battery, drained the old gas, cleaned out the fuel bowl on the S&S carb and it is trying to turn over but I think it's only burning up the starting fluid that i'm using. Can the jet be removed and cleaned to make sure that this isn't the problem?

Yes it can...use a little compressed air too.....but generally the carb has to be taken apart to clean it...
