I always soak the carb bodies in pinesol overnight, then rinse with water and blow out every opening with compresses air. Pinesol does a fantastic job of removing varnish and cheap too. I follow that up with brake cleaner through everything and blow that out. I also probe each passage, especially the idle circuit, with an high E guitar string ~ 0.0012". I think that's critical for good idling.
