Typically i soak my carb in seafoam. I cheaped out today and went crazy with the spray carb cleaner. Well i ruined the rubber gasket on the float bowl. The gasket blew up like a balloon. Now i have to drive 30 miles to get a 9 dollar part. Carb cleaner will destroy rubber o rings and gaskets!

You have learned the hard way that you must always remove rubber and plastic carb parts before carb is soaked in carb dip or cleaned generously with carb spray.

Happy Boating
