    Soaking carb with plastic parts

    I have been using Berrymans parts cleaner for a while now. It says to remove plastic parts. Some carbs do not allow for their removal. What is your thought on this.? Has anyone ruined their carb? I have not had any problems but it always worries me when I put them in for a soakiing.
