I recently purchased a new old stock Superpratic B throttle. Of course, the grease was all hard and it needed a general cleaning. So, I completely disassembled it and cleaned everything. Next I polished the aluminum body. It turned out quite nice for how badly oxidized it was to start with.

While I had my polishing wheel out, I polished both float bowls and float bowls nuts for the carburetors. The carburetor bodies and tops I will leave the cleaned but original patina.
