What I use for restoring gunked carbs is a Berryman Chem Dip, comes in a 3/4 gallon can with a basket. disassemble and put the body and jets in the basket, let 'er sit sealed for 24 hours at room temp. This will loosen everything so that you can simply spray it out like grease. It will look like new...
Caution: Remove all the rubber parts from the carb, if you don't they will be 50x larger when they come out...

Thanks guys i got her all cleared out and got her running....now i just need some rearend or tranny parts shes slipping when i give her gas sounds like gears in the rearend since its shaft drive not chain....was pretty funny though the carb got stuck wide open when we started her so she took off in the garage and pulled me and my dad across the garage and almost through the wall so i picked it up off the ground and she started screeming and it ate my leg with the tire then i dropped it and it took off into the wall and died......was very scary lol.
