Cleaning Fountain Pens?

Does anyone have any good tips for cleaning fountain/cartrige pens?
You know when they have been sat in a drawer for a couple of years, and all the ink has dried up inside.
I've tried washing it through, but that hasn't seemed to work, so just looking for some other ideas please.

I would try to fill them with warm soapy water and leave them to stand for a few days. I would not try solvents.
There is a plastic/rubber bag inside to hold the ink. That might have perished.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -
I used some inkjet refill flush, it worked a treat for me on an old fountain pen.0
