try to find a wire brush with a long stem and stick it in the end of a screw gun after swishing around some paint thinner or something in there. then fill it with gunk engine brite foam to soak for 10 min or so then wash it out with a hose and let it dry out.

Is it normal to have buildup or is it from the poor state of tune the bike was in when i got it?

eventually no matter what it will build up from unspent emissions. A motor running very rich will accumulate that build up much quicker though.

im pretty sure there is a method for it and there are a couple vids on youtube .. not sure what they use but it has to do with fire and heat

start with some carb cleaner.

Should you clean the insides of them every so often?

[Cory9584]

Maybe oven cleaner?

Depends a LOT on the fuel you run, and the type of oil you use. A lot of oils will produce more carbon buildup than others. I can see very very little carbon buildup if any after over a year of use with my shearers and running on methanol with castor927. I've heard that klotz super has even less carbon buildup.

Look and see if you can find a boiler wire brush. It should look like a bottle brush that you use to do the dishes. They come in various lenghts.
