Can I use hot water and soap to clean the carb on my weed eater as long as I allow it to dry

I would not do that. The small passage ways in the carb will clog up, because the metal will start to corrode before the water has had time to evaporate. Use a cleaner that after cleaning will evaporate quickly. The oil in the soap will slow the evaporation rate.

Allow me to translate from British to American. "Car spare shop" = auto parts store. And the carb cleaner he's talking about is an aerosol. Carefully disassemble and use ther carb spray(with the "straw") to clear every passageway in the body of the carb.
