Blocked carb

How do you get rid of the dried petrol deposits in a carb.

Hi again (oh no you say). Managed to get a well made Solex 34 Pict-4 carb however, it had been lying around for a while so there is crystalised deposit of fuel in the pipes. Carb has been soaking for a long time in the dip tank and nothing is budging. Can't blow a damn thing through them. Apparently there is a company that'll do it but $$?? Is there an easier better way to get this cleared?
Cheers

Hello,

When the wife isn't looking.....

Dishwasher.....


I also use an ultrasound bath to clean all the brass bits, ...

Its amazing how much brown crud there is in a carb.

Yeah that seems to do the trick. Got a guy who charges £10 per 30 mins in the tank but took 90 mins to clean it!
