Spraying the nitro cleaner takes less time than trying to restart hot and it seemed to work everytime I tried it during a race. Give it a shot. You can try a Sirio evo3 carb as well since it's plastic shouldn't have the restart problem.
Turn a bottle of compressed air upside down.... you know, the kind you get at office supply stores to clean keyboards....

It is compressed with freon and will really cool the carb down.

Warning:

Do NOT spray on skin. Even through clothes it will leave a freezer burn for hours.
