As mentioned Purple Power and an Ultrasonic cleaner. Put just water in the unit, a small bowl with purple power and the carb, place the bowl inside the unit.

Keep an eye on Craigslist. I picked up a small unit used for Jewelry for $25 and a larger 4 qt unit for $45. Just some of the rusted tools I've been able to bring back to life were worth the cost, let alone carbs and every other part I've used em to clean.
 
The best thing I have found to eat fuel varnish is Berrymans B-12 local auto parts houses should have it, and yes anything that eats fuel varnish will probably eat paint too. hth

Berrymans Chemdip is the best for what you are wanting to do, after all, that IS what it's made for.....
 
Stopped into a local auto parts place and found a Gunk version of carb/parts cleaner. It comes in a paint can with a basket, assuming it will work just as well as Berryman Chem-Dip. Anyone have issues with the Gunk?

It's about $20 for 3 quarts at VIP (I hate that store).
 
The Gunk brand works very well, just found the Kleen flow works a little better and faster, its more of an industrial strength product compared to the Gunk which is aimed at the do it yourself market. Either will do the job it is intended for.
