I can't imagine any pipe cleaners being small enough to get into those tiny holes. Usually, carb cleaner and compressed air is all that is needed. Possibly, a single strand of wire might help too.1980 XS850SG - Sold

Harbor Freight Tools has a set of airgun brushes that are pretty small. About $4.99 if I remember correctly.

Thought I should use a universally recognized item for a size reference.

Those are the ones you need and some kits for spray guns have brushes that are even smaller along with a verity of push pins. Spray carb cleaner does not dissolve hardened fuel gum on contact. Soaking and brushing is the way to go.

I have not used these brushes with carb cleaner. The thought just came to me that Gumout or something like it may just melt the bristles. Would be a safer bet to test that first before running the brush down inside the carb with a big squirt of cleaner.RIP Whiskers (Shop Boss) 25+yrs

So far I have not had any issues with tooth brushes or these small bottle brushes melting but I don't leave them soaking or use them while the carb part being cleaned is submersed in the cleaner.
