NAPA sells this great carb cleaner, comes in a 1 gallon jug. I used this
when rebuilding my carbs on my motorcycle. This stuff eats all that varnish
just by soaking in it, just don't put anything rubber or plastic in it! I
accidentally left an o-ring in one of the carbs and it came out 4 times
larger than when I put it in!
