Redrider, yep pressed in. I used a thin rag and small vise grips strait down on them. They're stuck pretty good but they'll come out without too much force

The carbs stripped down pretty easily until I got to the slow jets?  I was worried that I was doing something wrong....  I found a few great threads and read Brian Barnes clean/rebuild process halfway into my tear down and I don't remember reading that the slow jet needed  to come or can be removed?

Well they can be. And should be cleaned. They are a VERY common culprit of tough idling hard starting problems when they are dirty
