The carburettor cleaner I don't think will hurt brass or aluminum, or probably steel, since all three are found in carburettors, except for Carter Thermoquads in which the bodies are made out of Bakelite. Evaporust or metal rescue seems to work well for small metal parts, you can even clean up a tuning condenser with it.
