For me the float bowls were also the worst, and I also need a little elbow grease to get the goop out of the float bowls, but at least it was all loosened up and came out without too much effort. Much easier than trying to do it without the pinesol soak, and much safter than doing a carb cleaner soak.

I tried soaking the float bowls as a trial, and left it for a week. It still needed some elbow-grease to get it out.
