    Ok, Got the two big one plates on the bottom of it moving. The two small ones on the bottom are still seized pretty good but I can move them by tapping the outside linkage with a hammer.

    I'm half tempted to remove the small circle plates and let it soak.

    Ok, Got the 2 little circle plates on the little freed up and able to move open by hand a little. Opened by hand to the next tight spot and soaked it with more liquid wrench.

    Update

    The carb is no longer frozen after working it and soaking it in liquid wrench. This method was alot safer than trying to free it up in oven. Thanks guys.
