take some pics for us please.
before and after bodies and of the used solution. I'm interested in the colour.
I don't think you can beat the mechanical cleaning per the Jim Bush routine but it is more involved and does not address the oxidation on the outside surfaces. One can also reach inside and clean the two small holes at the manifold end with appropriate pins.
There is something to be said for patina though. A decades old motorbike should maybe look the part, no?
BTW and I may be preaching to the choir, if all else fails, brand spanking new Amals are not prohibitively expensive right from Burlen in the UK. The usual replacements items can be had from them also.
