Carb cleaning liquid.

Hi, I have a Sthil MS180 that needs to have to clean it's carb.
since carburetor in vehicles these days are not very common,
it's hard to find the carburetor cleaning liquid/solution that
the carburetor mechanics used to immerse the carburetors in to
clean them. I would like to ask if you can suggest how to make a
diy carb cleaner based on common materials that are within
reach. please be aware that I live outside the USA and
commercial solution that may be purchased in the USA aren't
available to me. btw - if you can contribute any advice
regarding the cleaning of the carb - it will be very helpful.

They still sell it at NAPA and other parts stores in 1gal and
5gal.
Being outside of US no clue for you on carb cleaners. Just use
the mixtures for ultrasonic.

You need to be careful though. Some chainsaw carbs have parts in
them not good for that stuff and will ruin them.
I've been able to clean passages on some that were issue just by
taking H L out and spraying carb cleaner through with canned
carb cleaner from Walmart and other parts stores.
Some folks just use a mixture in a pot warmed up or even in a
ultrasonic cleaner.
