As long as I'm just talking to myself; so what are useful tools for carb rebuilding?
-GumOut or similar solvent with a nozzle tube. If as bad as these carbs of mine, Gunk Foamy Engine Brite to pre-soak the crud for at least a full day, re-spraying every 6 hours or so.
-A stiff bristle toothbrush. Don't want to use anything metal when working on insides of carbs (OK, yes, you do need to use a straight/Phillips screwdriver here and there, but not for cleaning, just disassembly.) Brass jets and seats are soft and easily messed up. When re-assembled, I'll use a brass brush to buff up the outside of a carb set a bit. Makes them purdier!

-A set of 6 cheap vinyl guitar strings, cut in 6" lengths.

They're 6 different sizes and good for poking through Goo (technical term) in jets, seats, and channels in the carbs, and won't scratch the brass. Once there is an opening, then the GumOut can blow though and dissolve what's left.
-A smart phone, so you can search for a fine restaurant and book a reservation for dinner with your beloved/significant other, cause with the money you just saved cleaning up your own carbs, you can afford the best dinner in town!
