This worked for me on my 83 300D untill I got a good deal on a new aftermarket tumbler and swapped it out for POM.
X2 on the Ultrasonic Cleaner. I have an Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank and I did that with My Tumbler and a lot of tiny stuff came out of it.
I used something similar to Purple Power/Simple Green.

Since I don't think most People have an Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank you might ask you local Fuel Injection Shop to tank it.
