Dismantling carbs and cleaning.

Have taken the carbs appart as far as possible so that they can be vapor blasted, but there are a couple of brass parts that cannot be removed easily.

Is it safe to have them cleaned with the brass bit still in place ?

What is the best way of removing 15 year old petrol for the other parts if i dont have an ultra sonic cleaner ?

Thanks for the help.

Just soak the parts in cellulose thinners. works a treat !!
