Paolo,
Until the deposits actually begin blocking the exit of the pipe, they should not bother you too much.
Are you using a good quality lubricant that meets, or exceeds JASO FC requirements?
If so, it should not deposit too much material.
As to cleaning excess deposits; your guess is as good as mine.

Rinse the pipe with fuel every now and then, and do not worry too much about a thin soot layer.
Synthetic two stroke racing oils keep the pipe quite clean.

Get a crock pot large enough to imerse the thing being cleaned, pour in anti-freez, let cook over night, clean with water and soap, will look like new in the morning. A good cleaning method including bringing one home full of mothe earth. Wash out any bearingd motor prior to cooking. You will wonder where this system has been hiding, its great. Even softens carbon on pistons, heads etc. to a point it will wipe off. If remains dirty, cook another few hours until clean.
