    there should be a slot for a flat head screwdriver
    as for cleaning it use a can off carb cleaner as it sprays at a very high preasure so should clean any blockages. if you have accses to a compressor with a air line then you can just blow it out with a blow gun.

    My SR had a 90 as standard and with a pipe it just runs a tiny bit rich.
