I've started to rebuild a Carter B & B carb and I want to know should I remove the threaded throttle lever rod at the carb or at the "elbow" at the other end?

Well, I have to put the carb in solution to clean it before taking it apart. If I disconnect the throttle linkage at the "elbow" where it leads to the pedal, I'll have a long rod sticking out of the carb.  Not too conducive for dropping the carb into solution, which by the way, Mike's Carb says to use Simple Green.  Auto stores sell a gallon of a special cleaning solution that comes with a basket for fifty bucks compared with a gallon of Green for ten. Mike's listed other choices for solution, but said Simple Green will do the job.
