There's a spray product call carb cleaner that works great. There is also a "carburetor cleaner" dip, that's pretty nasty stuff- it eventually ate through its own container, resulting in a big mess in my shop.
Some guy told me how to start a small engine where the gas has gone bad. Drain the gas out of the tank, and while you have the fuel line disconnected, spray the carb cleaner in the fuel line to the carburetor. Also spray it in the air horn of the carb.
