We used to spray a mist of water into the carb at about 2500 RPM when the engine was up to temp to remove carbon and cobwebs. Use a mist not pour water holding RPM up and give her about 10 to 15 pumps on the spray bottle.

The quenching affect of the mist fractures or brakes carbon loose from piston tops and so on. Did this to cars with a heavy choke setting and not driven often enough or hard enough to blow out the crap. Taking it out on the highway and hitting passing gear a couple of times did the same thing but took much longer. We did this for our little old ladies a few times during winter months. Don't get crazy with the amount of water but it works.
