For folks who don't want to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner, there's a pretty good work-around. Over 30-something years of reloading ammo, I've acquired a few vibrating brass cleaners, the ones that have a big plastic bowl and a vibrating base, and use either ground corncobs or walnut hulls to clean brass cartridges before reloading them. I just adapted a 5-quart stainless steel stock pot to one of the bases and filled it with water, Trisodium Phosphate powder (concrete floor cleaner) and a healthy dose of Dawn dishwashing liquid. I disassembled the carb for my Harley Soft tail and dropped the pieces into the mixture. Clamp the lid on with a bungee cord, plug it in, and come back in a few hours to a clean carburetor! I gave it a good rinse with HOT water and hit all the passages with a high pressure air hose. Good to go!
