Cleaning Solex Carbs

Ive got a set of solex sidedrafts that i havnt used for about 3years, they have been sitting doing nothing and im thinking about throwing them on my 2TG, thing is over time it has accumulated dirt all over them and i noticed this morning that a little bit of dirt has made its way into where the fuel lines are attached to the carbs.. what i want to know is, is there anyway i can clean the inside without pulling apart the carb and hoping that they still work? maybe i could soak them totally in something? or spray some carby cleaner in it perhaps?
any suggestions appreciated.
cheers.

You should be safe enough to remove the top and jets and blow compressed air through the passages,then carby clean the outside.just inspect the jets and emulsion tubes for crud in them while they are out.dont forget to check and adjust the float levels before you fire the motor up.

checking and adjusting the float levels im probably gonna get stuck on, im pretty sure the 2TG manual has something on that? ill have to look through it again, but i was thinking about doing the same, just wasnt 100% sure.. thanks 4 the reply

i got a TA22 early 72 model with the 5 speed and 2TG motor in it, unblocking the carbs is not your only problem, wait till ya have to tune the bastards in! talk about a nightmare!
