spark Arrestor etc. Got to be a better way
Wire brush and blow torch to clean these things. Is there some liquid I can put them in that will eat away the carbon? Need to buy some replacements but still trying to find them

It took me longer to remove it than to clean it. It was rusted on good and I needed a propane torch to remove it.
You are helping to make my point. You got lucky with removing it.
What often happens is that the "pipe" that is screwed into the head breaks off and then you have a real mess.
A little carbon buildup in a muffler is NOT a problem....really.
Even more than a little usually is not a problem.
If it bothers you, once it's good and hot give it a few taps with a hammer handle or screwdriver handle while it's running at speed. Any carbon that is loose should come flying out. If rusty metal pieces come flying out.....it's time for a new one.
