jake2250's suggestion of soaking is one I thought about too.
I have seen one gallon cans of carb cleaner with a parts basket inside. Check the auto parts stores.
The only thing I hesitate about is whether the non-metal parts are OK to soak in carb cleaner for a prolonged time. Maybe someone else can offer advice on that.
Edit to add:
I know a small engine repair shop that my BIL has used several times for a gummed up carb. They soak the entire carb for a day or so.
