I buy brake cleaner in 20L drums. Go to bursons or repco, should get it for a reasonable price. My last drum cost about $80 I think.

Thanks got given a quad bike and the carby had about 1mm of crap and varnished fuel in the bowl would be a waste of cash with them spray cans to clean it

Worst carby ive opened up and ive scrubed a few on mowers bikes cars and other petrol powered stuff

Thinking of going new carby now for $80

I will check them out for them size cans to i always use it

Best thing i found for carbs like that is an ultra sonic cleaner. I do my vintage motorbike carbs with one. Amazing bit of kit.

That Simple Green Industrial Cleaner & Degreaser.

Run the carb through for a couple of cycles and comes out nice and clean.
