You don't want to get that back to front after a few beers.....

In the early 1980s, I had a 1967 split screen VW Transporter with 1500cc of raw power making all of 40bhp (when new) Redex did absolutely booger all. It was scrapped with rot so bad it nearly broke it's back. Today a perfect "project", but sadly not back then.
I remember the old Redex de-coke, where you would run the engine up, remove the spark plugs and pour Redex straight into the cylinder, leave it to soak in for a while (can't recall how long now) and then put some directly down the throat of the carb and start the engine. This produced an awful lot of smoke but I'm not sure it ever did any good. The instructions were printed on the back of the Redex bottle.
I used to pull in to the garage and ask for two shots of red down the old carb....and then start it up...used to fill the garage in white smoke....oh those were the days..(In Africa)
1953 spilt screen

You've kept that quiet
I thought you'd done a 'top end overhaul' .... as a precautionary measure?

Yep, rings, exhaust and inlet valves but everything was spick and span in there and didn't need and decoking or stuff like that.

You forgot to mention K&N airfilters
Indeed.. ive still got some old Hammerite..... works a treat
The only stuff I've ever personally found to clean my fuel system is a product call Techron (made by Texaco/Chevron), it's not that easy to find though. I got it online from a seller in Holland after having it recommended by a bloke in New Zealand. I had already tried Redex to cure my rough running without success.
Techron fuel additive was the only 'juice' that managed to sort out the carbs on my R1 without having yet another fiddly strip down and clean. Whether or not it can decoke your engine is another matter, but it managed to dissolve the gum and varnish in my carbs and cured my rough running issues so it might help clean your fuel injector nozzles and the back face of the inlet valves.
I think it's general injector cleaner, I know it's around 30 years old! Probably full of stuff they don't put in anymore hence it doing a good job
