Carb cleaner probably won't effect the buildup in a radiator. If there is clog buildup in the core it may be from hard tap water being used in system. Down the road plan to use distilled water in the coolant mix.
Did you get the burp hole in the up position on the stat when putting that in? System will self bubble since stat is lower than tank/rad core, park on slight up incline to assist. Some have posted pump fin problems so you might want to examine the coolant pump down the line. Do a compression test for hold pressure and watch and measure coolant system pressure when doing comp test. Could have a bad new gasket seal. Good luck, just some ideas.
