Chem dip is good stuff. Just remove the rubber parts. It will swell them up. Also your carbs have an accelerator pump. This is tricky to clean. First remove the No#2 float bowel, and check the ball valve in it by blowing, and then sucking air through it. Air should only go one way. Then do the same thing with the pump cover located on the No#2 float bowel. If air does not go through one way, or not at all, you will need to remove the little plastic plugs, and clean the balls, and passages. To remove the plugs use a very small drill bit. I use a pin vise cutting torch tip cleaner. They come with little drill bits, and are great, for working on carbs. After drilling a little hole, screw a No#2 wood screw into the plug, and use it as a handle to work the plug out. Be careful, those little balls, and springs are only about a 1/16 inch, and just love to jump, and hide.
