This will need to be removed. Normal carb clean products won't do. Brake cleaning fluid, oven clean, paint thinners and a number of other things are reputed to be effacious.
Cheers and good luck
+1 It's important to get all of that stuff out of the fuel system. If you don't, the carbs will clog up soon after they're rebuilt.
It's probably that gunk that is clogging the needle valves and keeping the fuel flowing into the float bowls.
