So good news and bad news. The heat + penetrating fluid worked like a charm! I don’t have a fancy welding torch but I do have a propane torch (like plumbers use) and that did the trick. The throttle is free!
The bad news is I tried drilling out the stuck idle screw and I buggered up the hole. The aluminum was a lot softer than I thought and drilling hard steel stuck in soft aluminum was a bad idea.
The carb will never function again, but I’m still going to rebuild it for fun and get some assembly skills down.
