Disassemble completely, dip in NAPA carb cleaner and rinse, glass bead all metal parts, sent the steel parts out to get plated, dip the aluminum parts in a chromic acid bath to turn them yellow again. Reassemble with new gaskets and soft parts and throttle blade screws, add teflon strips around the throttle shafts to remove slop. Wasn't that easy? or send it out and have somebody else do it.
