I have 2 Bg85's down with the dreaded carb issues, parts here are to expensive to make replacement of carbs a practical option. You would think stihl would put decent carbs in the BG85s and MS200T's for petes sake!
A bit late but here is how I did one: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/145468.htm
I wouldn't waste my time on your existing carb. I just replaced the carbs on two FS85s. Both had fixed jet Zama C1Q carbs. Both wouldn't run correctly even after a trip through my ultrasonic cleaner. I replaced them with fully adjustable C1Qs. They're listed in the IPL.

Stihl parts are high everywhere but unless my dealer messed up the c1qs carb I bought last month was $27.In N.Z.there probably out of site.My bg85 never ran better.
This is the problem over here in the UK as well. Carbs from Stihl run from $70 - $100 in your money. Replacing the main nozzle and diaphragms costs only about $10. Also it is a whole lot more satisfying.
Making sure the check valves are working only takes a few seconds with a piece of rubber hose. You should be able to blow through with your mouth but not suck back. ( I just said suck back :foot-in-mouth
If the idle circuit check valves aren't working they are non replaceable so new carb needed.

I was going to rebuild my carb also.When I asked for a price on the hole carb he said $26.99 and had one in stock I said lay it on me.Probably would have had $15 or more in parts.
