Carburetor deep cleaning

[David S.]

Suggestion of how to deep clean (soak) 61 dual carbs in solution. Wanted to rebuild the dual carbs, but wanted something safe that will not damage the carbs. Is there anything I can buy from the Automotive parts store?

I am know expert on carb cleaning, but I would just go to the auto parts store and get the gallon size cleaner and submerge the carb in it after disassembly. Don't misplace all the little parts and remember where they go. I would take pictures. I hope to do mine soon just to dress it up a little.
