I know the thread's main point has passed, but...
Yes, leaving fuel in the float bowls for more than a few months will cause jets and emulsion tubes to become clogged. Fuel stabilizer will add a little time to that, but eventually the fuel AND the stabilizer forms serious deposits. I used Berryman's fuel stabilizer, and after 6 months in the carbs, everything was coated with what appeared to be blue lacquer!
In my experience, there is no in-tank or spray cleaner that can remove such deposits in a meaningful way. The only thing that's ever worked for me is Berryman's Chem-Dip, and ONLY for metal parts (anything plastic or rubber will dissolve in the tank!). Don't get any on your hands; the carcinogenic warnings take up more of the label than the product name!
I generally just replace pilot jets. They are so hard to get thoroughly clean, and getting carbs in and out is such a pain, that replacing them for around $10 in a four-cylinder is cheap insurance. If I can get them easily, I'll replace main jets as well. I usually dip-tank air jets, idle mixture screws, and emulsion tubes. Are removing them from the dip, I spray with spray carb cleaner (Gumout is my favorite), and reassemble. Check for warped or sunken floats while you have everything apart, and check for consistent float height.
Such is my experience from ten years of rebuilding motorcycle carbs professionally.
