Little buzzer buzzing the bits good. Just having initial tests with warm water while waiting for carb goo to arrive for cleaner and already shifting plenty of crud that carb cleaner spray missed.
Think with a bit of wriggling oil be able to buzz carb body too section by section.

Put it in a big yoghurt pot or some such with water/cleaner and put that in the buzzer, also with water.

This tiny ultrasonic doohickey is ace. I ran it with just water and it did a great job. The water started looking clear at the end of the process. Then i got special carb cleaner and a whole load more crud came out.
Carbs now beautifully clean and waiting for new pilot jet before rebuild....

That lille ultrasonic thing really worked well. Very surprised. All bits had multiple baths. I used just warm water to start which did great. Then added some specific for carbs goo to the bath and that shifted even more crud.
Oil let ewe know if it works when fitted.... Prolly 2025..ish
