My stock Linkert Carb on the '66 FL worked great (before I started the restoration) so to limit the amount of items that i could screw up, and still have it functional upon re-assembly, I have decided not to tear into it or have it fully restored at this time.
But..it has 40 years of crud on the outside. I bought a can of carb cleaner (the spray on kind) and that knocked a lot of crud off of the outside, but it evaporates much quicker than you can take a brush or anything to clean what it doesn't get off.
What the best stuff to use to make the old carb look good (soak or spray) without any risk to gaskets or internals? I'm not really (right now) trying to restore to the original finish, just a solid cleaning without screwing up any of the internals.
