the o-rings round the "little filters" you mention tend to perish allowing fuel past even when the float valve is closed and functioning correctly, replace them.

ye brake cleaner is basically the same thing, just a liquid that dries off and not a lubricant.im suprised halfords didnt have any.
i use brake cleaner just because i get it from work, compressed air is also good for blowing all the jets etc out if you have access to it.
