pull the fuel pump off and hang it by the hose from the tank, and pour a bunch of carb cleaner in there, let it sit for about 30 min. repeat.

I probably will immerse it in a cleaner + gas bath so the In and out side will get cleaning fluid and get cleaned ... Hope that the pump part doesn't ahve any hidden parts ...
Cool.
