**Basic Cleaning**: Start by removing the carburetor from the bike. Once it's off, disassemble it carefully. Use a carburetor cleaner spray to clean all the parts, especially the jets and passages. Rinse everything with compressed air to make sure there’s no residue left.

**Soaking Method**: Take the carburetor apart and soak the metal parts in a carburetor cleaning solution for a few hours. After soaking, scrub any stubborn spots with a soft brush, rinse, and blow it dry with compressed air.

**Ultrasonic Cleaner**: If you have access to one, an ultrasonic cleaner is a game-changer. Just disassemble the carb, put the parts in the cleaner with a suitable solution, and let it do the work. It gets into all those tiny crevices really well.

**Use a Toothbrush**: For a quick clean, take a soft toothbrush and some carb cleaner. Scrub the exterior and any accessible areas, focusing on the jets. It’s a good way to get rid of surface grime without a full teardown.

**Check the Gaskets**: When cleaning, always check the gaskets and O-rings. Sometimes just cleaning isn’t enough, and you might need to replace them. It can save you headaches later on if everything seals properly.
