No for best results the Carburetor needs to be removed and completely disassembled. This helps in cleaning out the jets and small passages, Recommended to be done by an experienced mechanic in that field.

Taking it apart:-)

I would suggest you get a good crab cleaner and soak the carb in it.If that does not clean up your problem you will have to take the crab apart and clean it with cleaner and compressed air.

There are various possibilities. One is that the fuel line is clogged. Make sure the fuel line is free of dirt and clean. Another thing, the carburetor float may be stuck. Third, old gas could have jellied inside the carburetor which makes for dissassembly and cleaning. Still another possibility is a clogged fuel jet. I would advise taking the carburetor apart and clean it after checking the fuel line, since if cleaning the fuel line won't help then it is a carburetor problem.
