Don't "soak it" in anything. Just spray on some carb & choke cleaner (Gumout) and wait a few minutes, then use a soft wire brush, and some very thin wire to carefully clean out the jets, etc.
They make a solution in a gallon can like a paint can you can buy at the parts store. It works pretty good. That is what I do with all of my carbs. I take them apart put the parts in the cleaner put the lid back on sit it in the corner overnight and then put it back together. I do this at the kitchen table.
soak it in parts cleaner they sell for parts cleaning machines. when it's soaked for a while, take it apart, and put the pieces back in the solution. then get yourself a carb rebuild kit. they're like 10-20 bucks youll have a carb good as new
Unless you happen to have a large bottle of heavy duty industrial solvent like xylene or methyl ethyl ketone sitting around in your garage, I'd recommend buying a bucket of real carb cleaner from an auto parts store. To soak a carb, you will need to disassemble it and remove all the gaskets, and then put new gaskets in when you're done.
Soak in a 1:1 solution of Aquaklean for as long as needed and rinse. It's the best automotive cleaner/degreaser I've found. sold by kbs coatings.

Try carb cleaner.That will get any build up out of the jets. Never use water to clean anything with gas in it first.It will gum up the lines.

You don't soak it or you'll have to replace all the gaskets. Just spray it down with Valvoline Carburator Cleaner-Works great!
