When I rebuild carburetors I disassemble the carb, making sure to remove anything plastic or rubber. I then immerse the carb body and loose jets (if removed) in a gallon of very strong carburetor cleaner that I have used for the last 10 years. The cleaner comes in a steel paint can and has a basket for soaking the parts. I have the cleaner in storage right now and can't remember the name. IIRC, I bought it from NAPA.
This cleaner, besides being highly toxic, will dissolve anything inside the jets and carb body channels. It is safe for steel and aluminum.
I don't have any experience with the Honda 2000 engine but if it's typical of others I've worked on, the symptoms posted here indicate something amiss in the fuel delivery. That could be a clogged main jet, clogged carb channels, a stuck float, a clogged fuel inlet, pinched or blocked fuel line, dirty filter in tank, bad fuel pump, or a blocked vent on the tank cap.
