Chris, usually folks completely disassembly the carb after removing it from the engine of course. And that means totally disassembly if you are serious about rebuilding it. Then soak it in carb cleaner per instructions if that is how you want to go. Some use carb spray cleaner and spray each part with it if they don't soak it in carb cleaner. You choice there. Verify all the holes and passages are clean and clear. You can take one strand from a piece of stranded wire and use it to make sure the holes and passages are open. Even use compressed air which really helps. Once it is cleaned via soaking or spraying, then make the initial setting for float level and bleed screws (if applicable) and reassemble it per carb kit instructions, or better yet, a manufacturer's model, year, HP specific shop manual. Buy one if you don't already have one. It will save you time and money. You are ready to install it back on the engine, connect it up and go again. JMHO!
