Barrie,

The carbon that is coating the tubes is something that it is wise to remove,
as it is a great insulator.

Phill,

I think the hard coating of carbon in the flues will cause no problems 
whatsoever as hard carbon is a good conductor of heat.  Not so with the soot 
etc, because it is not compact.  I would leave it alone as long as the boiler 
steams well.
