If you can’t find anyone, or it costs an arm and a leg, you can take them apart and boil the bodies, jets and needles etc in a big pot of water with a bit of lemon juice......

Most clockmakers and jewelers will have one. Of course they may not be that thrilled at the prospect of you dumping grubby great lumps of filthy alloy into their toys.

A garage that does injector cleaning will have one - but having had one myself,I know it won't get things as clean as you are expecting.

How big is the biggest part? Your friendly neighbourhood optometrist will have an ultrasound cleaner.

the biggest part is the whole carb body,
the problem being is that they are down draft carbs with accelerator pumps,
the top comes off the carbs allowing access to the float bowls, but there are so many little passageways that its impossible to clean them
