Too much pressure.... Is it broken??

I was installing my pres. reg. incorrectly and tested it, it plew 15 psi from my fuel pump up through my carb (electric pump). Gas shot out of all different places. Is the carb OK? To get it back to being OK, should I just take it all appart, blow compressed air through it and put it all back togeather? I also might have gotten bits of rubber in there from the not pre-cleaned fuel sytem.... Thanks for any advice.

For anyone here who remembers me, from 6 months ago when I was trying to finish my project.... I finally will have $ flowing in again in the next week or two, so please give your advice.

Thanks again.

Ok, so to start off with trying to get this carb tunned right should I buy a simple jet kit... like this one from Jegs.com 555-15020? I have a good handbook and stuff, but now I need the parts.
