i can get mine in pristine condition pretty easily, get a pack of bristle pipe cleaners, and some lighter fluid (or gasoline, or paint thinner, or any cleaning solvent) i know most people are afraid to put that in there, and if you don't wash it out right it will suck for sure. so fill it half way with the solvent and shake for a while (covering the mouthpiece, carb, and stick a finger in the bowl. rub at the bowl with the solvent and it will all slide off. twist 3 pipe cleaners together and use them to clean the downstem.
