Anyone out there know of a way to clean alcohol in gas out of a carburetor that only has a few hours on it without tear down?

Have you tried running fresh gas through the engine (running I mean) ???
Or is this a project on the bench?

If this is a carburettor on the bench, you could try flooding it with methylated spirits.
That will remove all gasoline type liquids.

Open your windows BTW. 
What are we working on? Car or generator/weed eater/small equipment?
Run the car with ethanol free gas container connected fo fuel pump
Off the engine? Carter turn it upside down and drain it. Holley remove a lower float bowl screw from each float bowl and drain.

Just mix this with the remaining fuel and cycle.

I'm that I worded my question poorly. I'm looking to get the leftover crab from the alcohol out of the carburetors. I'm talking about a car and a generator. Is there any way to clean the gunk out without tear down?
Has it already turned to gunk in the carburetor? Has some time passed since it was last run, like 3-4 months or more?
If it was recently running then run good gas through it by starting the engine with good gas going in the fuel line.
