Their response to me was that they recommend cleaning with a solvent, such as MetalPrep. This type of solvent contains a high percentage of phospheric acid. Beware!!! I at first thought about AlumiPrep but another source recommended NOT using AlumiPrep on cast aluminum so that shot down another idea of mine. I included this paragraph so one of you do not make a mistake and use it. Another less expensive method may be to use something we consume quite often ... Coca Cola. It has a rather high percentage of phospheric acid also so I would not let the carb soak in it too long. I just received a flyer from a local auto repair shop and it contained some interesting things about coke. It will: 1. Dissolve a steak in 2 days. 2. Dissolve an nail in 4 days. 3. Clean the corrosion from battery terminals. 4. Remove rust from chrome car bumpers. 5. Loosen rusted bolts by applying a cloth soaked in coke for several minutes. 6. Clean grease from your clothes by emptying a can into the washer with your normal detergent. 7. Clean road haze from windshields. So each of us can make use of coke in our 300 garages. Good luck.

It won't break off because the studs really aren't in there very tight. (they don't need to be) The trick is to get a good hold on it somehow and the welding method (mig welder) sounds like a great way. The heat might even help the process. I'm going to try it next time I have this problem........and there will be a next time!

Interesting indeed! My experience with "Coke" is that is makes an excellent "glue". You want something to stick together?.....put some Coke on both surfaces and let it sit in the sun for a couple hours. Once that sugar in the Coke begins to dry and harden, (like inside the little passages in a carburetor), you'll wish you had simply bought some over-the-counter carb cleaner in a spray can.

Yep, I admit I used some to assemble my SureGrip unit... LOL.... http://home01.wxs.nl/~meine119/ring/03.gif But there are enough carb-cleaners on the market to suit your needs I think. And only the best solution is to just take off the carb and disassemble and clean the bowls and passages....
