Hi folks:
Like the idiot I am, I accidentally used brake cleaner when doing the shotgun method on all 4 carb bodies. Once I realized this, I of course did a proper shotgun clean using carb cleaner.
So, what should I do now to prevent any problems (such as drain the float bowls again?)
Thanks very much.

hopefully, when doing the shotgun, you blew most of it out. I believe brake cleaner's quite volatile too, so most should have evaporated.

Draining the float bowls is prolly a good idea too, after that you should hopefully be ok.
 
I use the brake cleaner actually when prepping any carbs I setup. Works just fine.
