a nice tip for carb cleaning is to use iso alcohol 90% as your carberator cleaner for soaking parts.

its a very very good cleaner, is safe for hands and the fumes dont hurt your lungs.

its also safe for rubber and plastic so unlike carb cleaner you can soak everything overnight and brush it clean with a parts brush then blow it out with air to finish.

getting enough carb cleaner to submerge your entire carberator is expensive and very toxic so next time you need a cleaning try it out.

the one draw back of it is that it needs an hour or so soak time because it works like a varnish stripper and wont clean on contact like carb cleaner in a can does.
