Default Carburetor Cleaning

Anyone found something that will clean a carburetor like cleaner used to before it became environmentally safe? The new carburetor cleaner, is good to for the environment, but not good for cleaning carburetors. Tried the NAPA and the Gunk brand. Soaked it for 2 days and it just doesn't clean. The cleaner years ago would make one look new in about 4 hours ..Anyone found anything better?

i have heard that 3M makes a good choke/ Carb cleaner. Have you tried using brake cleaner? i know that it will damage some plastics.

I use CNC's Clean'r'Carb. Works fantastically, just don't get it in your eyes (yes I found out the hard way last week).
