Soak it in acetone, when completely dry, bead blast it thoroughly. Blow out all passages with compressed air. Then hit all passages with some cheap aerosol carb cleaner. You do have to completely take the carburetor apart, including the check valves. Otherwise you run the risk of having some glass beads get lodged behind and blocking them.
