Any recommendations on the best way to do this? Is hosing it out with carb cleaner my best bet or is the something better I could soak it in?

Used to do mine with paint thinners, once through and shake it holding the fluid in, then empty and put fresh fluid in and let it soak for half an hour, then fresh fluid again and give it another shake.
Make sure you "roll" the valve back and forwards to shake the mechanism in the direction they're meant to go.

Cheap sh*t cola works! (on old carbs anyway!) I use brake/clutch cleaner, works well and dries in no time. Done mine in 30 mins and it was back on the car and driving.  |
