Better go with Martin's advice. This is what it allegedly says on the can.

Berryman Chem-Dip Carburetor and Parts Cleaner (part #0996) is safe on for use on plastic, rubber, and most paints and metals, but it can react with some grades of aluminum and aluminum alloys. For that reason, we recommend on the container that soak times be limited to 15-30 minutes per dip with a total soak time not to exceed 4 hours for aluminum and aluminum-based parts, which is what your carburetor is made of. The darkening you see is caused by the surface formation of aluminum hydroxide and/or aluminum oxide (reaction products from extended soaking). Typically, the carburetor simply looks different but will still continue to function normally.

I found that after they changed to a more EPA mandated, CA shippable, formula, it takes longer/not as effective as in the day. Don't know what it says now on the can.
