I use regular carb cleaner(buy it at any hardware store). But the best way to clean a carb is to take the float bowl off, by undoing the 3 or 4 screws off the bottom, dont worry nothing will fall out, spray the bowl and clean it, take a look at the carb (float bowl off) ant you will see 2 brass jets that you can take out using a screw driver(flat) spin them out and soak them in the carb cleaner with them out spray the heck outta the rest of the carb, make sure you dont bent or strike the float if you do you will mess up your float level. take a look at your jets try to see if there pluged or not, if they are run a twist tie or other soft wire you dont want to damage the jets their soft brass. when your all done put it together..oh and when its back on the bike turn your gas on and turn the bleed screw(on the very bottom or side of the float bowl) until gas come out. it will save a lot of kicking or starter spinnin.
