just done the same with a set of 36 alfa webers bought from evil bay looked good from the outside but when pulled apart very ordinary inside. 🙁
carby cleaner and wd40 pressure packs and small plastic tube, all clean now. I will carby clean all orifices again and then compressed air blow out, new rebuild kit and check float level and should be ready to bolt on.😵‍💫

any tips on a **good** (read bad!) brand?

ultrasonics are good cleaners

pull them apart and get them acid dipped (from your local carby place)
