+1 on the Pine Sol soak. Ratio is 2 parts Pine Sol to 1 part water in a container large enuf to submerge a rack of carbs. No need to boil.
May require soaking for 2 or 3 days depending on condition of the carbs. Advantages of the method -- it also cleans the outside surfaces (and the linkages, screws, springs, etc. without the need to separate carbs -- and it's friendly to rubber parts. There's a detailed how-to on another forum, but II've lost the link. If I can find it, I'll post.
