Ok. Got it.Evans Ward wrote:I'd hold off on the heat as you can easily damage/ melt the carb body. You have to be patient and give the penetrant some time to work on it's on.
Meanwhile will continue to work on other parts of bike.

Success finally!
1. Soaked for two days in diesel.
2. Heated (medium heat) on third day and put in diesel for 1 day
3. On fourth day, heated crap out of it! until it turned!
Thank you all so much for your support!
Appreciate it.

Patience and perseverance usually wins. Failing that, smash the offending part with a BIG hammer and buy another to start all over again!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
