How to best clean stripped carbs & bits?

[KA1J]

Now I have to be the shop manager and be sure everything that needs to be done with my carbs, gets done. Last night I removed the butterflies and now have my carbs completely broken down so the bodies and bowls can be dipped in carb dip.

I saved the parts from each section in their own zip-lock baggies so they'll go back in their original body. I'm wondering which of the loose parts should I have dipped as well? It will probably be a problem to keep those pieces separated at the shop and some of those jets are tiny so perhaps they are too small? What should I do by myself?

Should I expect that the passages will be cleaned of scale build-up after the dip or do I need to do something else to assure open passages?

Seeing as there's no rubber parts involved, what kind of dip is the best for cleaning? The ultrasound cleaning I had done on my last set of carbs at a bike repair shop used ultrasound with "simple Green" and water, no other chemicals. I remember the machinist at the auto shop used a powerful petroleum distillate but no ultrasound. What's my best cleaning going to come from?

Thanks!

I do both... Berrymans 'Carb Dip' on the bodies, blow them out thoroughly, then a pass through the ultrasonic to 'finish' clean them (all the 'rubber' parts get the ultrasonic treatment). They'll nearly pass a 'white glove' inspection after this. Same procedure for all the small metal parts (jets, throttle shafts, etc) too. Do each carb and parts separately to keep everything straight if you want to, but most of the parts either will fit any carb or will only fit the 'right' carb. Make sure the slides/diaphrams go back to the same body, and keep track of your emulsion tubes (inners and outers if applicable). I'll lightly scratch a number on the throttle plates to keep track of those...

The passages I'll take special care with is the hole the emulsion tubes go in (visually check that) and the fuel feed holes between the 'T's and the float valves.
