I would never use water to clean a carb as if you don't blow it all out it can cause you problems.

A spray of carb cleaner and a good blow with an air line is fine.

If your kart is running fine there is no need to clean your carb as long as your fuel is filtered and clean it should run perfectly well. Just leave it alone.

Most people would just take the float bowl off periodically and empty that of any debris that may have collected in there.

People mess with carbs too often in my opinion and can cause more problems by doing so.
