Use carb cleaner but don't let it get into the engine oil, if it happens change the oil.

I used carb cleaner on mine , got it from halfords not too bad if you  have a trade card .
Depending how bad the build up is you will probably need at least a couple of cans I did  ;)
 It can be a bit of a messy job too so plenty of rags or paper will be a good idea  :y
  :exclamationAnd watch your eyes not sure who it was but someone sprayed it in theirs apparently if stinks like a good un  :exclamation
