So the first thing is NOT to leave your air cleaner on the seat of the truck for 6 or so years.

Mud wasps decided to pack the carb full of dirt and remnants of wasp parts.

I wish I had a before photo, but take my word for it it was packed with dirt!

The dirt obviously holds moisture so everything was froze up and any metal parts were rusty.

I managed to get it all freed up after a few days of treatment with PB Blaster and some well place whacks with the handle end of a screwdriver. After some more penetrant soaking, I disassembled every last piece of it.

Here are some photos of some soda blasting on the carb housing pieces.
