There's a spray product call carb cleaner that works great. There is also a "carburetor cleaner" dip, that's pretty nasty stuff- it eventually ate through its own container, resulting in a big mess in my shop.
Some guy told me how to start a small engine where the gas has gone bad. Drain the gas out of the tank, and while you have the fuel line disconnected, spray the carb cleaner in the fuel line to the carburetor. Also spray it in the air horn of the carb. Also spray enough in the empty gas tank to cover the bottom, so it will be picked up by the fuel line to the carb. He guaranteed that the engine would start on the first pull. Good luck with that, I thought.
I've done that procedure on 3 different small engines- one had so many cobwebs over it I thought I would have to spray for spiders, just for my own protection- and they all started on the first pull! After it starts, shut it down, and put fresh gas in the tank, and you're off to the races.
