I use the carb cleaner in one gal. cans bought at the local reputable outo store ie. Napa as the 5 gallon pails are quite a bit more and have had the pails rust through onto the floor before the solution lost its cleaning ability. Throughly dissasemble the carburator and put the parts in the basket that usually comes with the carb cleaner. Do not put any rubber parts and any gaskets that you may be using over as they will be destroyed. Let soak for a least a couple of hours, ajiate the solution by rasing and lowering the basket a few times, I let soak over night. When removing the basket, slowly lift up as some cleaners have a film that is near the top that coats the carb to give it a shine. Once out throughly rinse of with HOT HOT water, blow dry and into all holes, confirm air is exiting at points attached to the holes. Reassemble carb and when everthing is done, ready for installation, I spray clear laquer on the exterior of the carb to really seal the exterior finish. It looks like a pro has done the job.
