A:
Perhaps you could alert all of us as to the source of what you "saw", so that no one will ever rely on that source.
Bringing a strong, non-petroleum based solvent into contact with the diaphragms in the fuel distributor is a spectacularly bad idea.
The solvents in "carb cleaners" are intended for metal cleaning, and will attack any rubber, whether natural or synthetic.
A more appropriate solvent would be kerosene, or "paint thinner/mineral spirits".
