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".

Mr. Reiner, thank you so very much for the help!
It was the Source, but on a 6,3, so maybe different.
Brake cleaner fall into that also, right? I keep that way from rubber just based on what it does to my skin (you try and avoid, but still happens).
Or diesel oil, right? Kerosene is #1 diesel, thus my thought of why.
