[Shop-talk] Reviving a carb

OK, so I borrowed a rototiller from a friend that hasn't used it in years.

Besides the exhaust valve being stuck (I fixed that,) the carb seems to be 
varnished.

I dissembled it and cleaned everything that I could reach.  It seems there 
isn't much access to the insides of this carb (it's a small B&S motor.)

So, is there a product I can leave the carb soaking in for a while to 
break up the old gas? 

I leave for Iraq in a few weeks and I wanted to rototill before I left. 

Thanks.
