Next stupid Carb Question from me

Okay here's the stupid question.

I have taken the tops and bowls off. I have removed the Accelerator Pump and the Air Cutoff Valve. I have pulled and cleaned the jets, the floats etc. Everything has been cleaned except the bodies.

How can I clean out the bodies without breaking them apart? Can I just hose them out with the spray type Carb Cleaner? (Making sure of course to get it into the fuel tubing to get it in nice and deep.) I know the bodies need to be cleaned out because I saw what came out when I drained the gas, not to mention the condition of the float bowls.

Thanks in advance.
