CArb cleaner. I would think some seafoam might work also.

Wire wheel on a drill and a light touch. There are many ways to skin a cat, just depends on how much time and money you want to spend and what you have avaliable to use.

Get a small amout of kerosene or gas and let it sit and soak over night in a bucket. Then a couple cans of carb cleaner will clean it right up. Or take it to a parts cleaner or a shop that has one. Most will let you use it for somthing petty as cleaning, At least i found good folks about doing that. Good luck either way
