I can do ultrasonic cleaning on carbs....can also get them vapour blasted if really bad. I will do some dirty ones to do before and after pics...
I have probably done more than 10 pairs already....
Getting quite good at stripping and building them now :-)

I have done a good number of carbs on here for folks, but I don't advertise the fact, I ultrasonic clean them, they get fully stripped, measured, checked and built to what I think will match the bike in respect of tune etc, that's where it can get tricky though, so having a healthly selection of jets, needles, needle jets and spare parts is vital and unfortunately is also very expensive. A pair of needles for an LC is well over £20, think the last set off Norbo was £26 for a pair.
If its just for stripping, cleaning and reassemble then I can do them no problem, I even rezinc the nuts, bolts, levers etc, so they do look pretty damn good, I can also get them vapour blasted if required, but that also tends to cause other issues, so you need to be aware of the air correction jets getting blocked etc, which involves drilling out a blanking plug, cleaning the 0.5mm jet and then reblanking it up, its not as straight forward as some would think.
it all comes down to the carbs and what people want, its hard to find a happy medium in my experience, plus working out a price is also hard at times, even if I do only charge £10 an hour, you wouldn't beleive how much time you can spend looking up specs etc and how the smallest number of parts do add up very quickly !
