This may get some negative comments, but if you disassemble it completely and remove all plastic/rubber parts you can actually boil it clean. I had it explained to me and decided to try it on a Rochester 2V in the late 70's. I was amazed how clean it came out.

In a pot deep enough to cover everything with a couple of inches of room for a rolling boil, put all of your metal parts in the pot, cover with water and add a cup of Tide or other strong laundry detergent. Bring it to a strong rolling boil, and after a bit you will see that the suds are turning black, slimy and ugly - add another cup of Tide. As I recall I added about three cups of Tide before the rolling boil stayed off-white vs nasty black, but it may have been more. I boiled mine for about an hour, let it sit a while and then washed it down with cold water to cool. I will say that you'd be advised to do this on a camp stove outside vs using the kitchen, as the aroma is not the most pleasant I did mine as a bachelor in warm weather (windows open to vent the fumes), and none of the neighbors asked to come for dinner that night.... Sure did have a clean carburetor though...
