Not coming up on my PC. In general, the carb cleaner they sell today is wimpy crap compared to the "good stuff" of old.
That said, I'd brush the body clean with lacquer thinner, remove and soak/ blowout all you can of the other parts, and put her back together.

Not really, though some people in Washington D C would like you to think so.

On the primary's (between the positive and negative pins) .02 to .04 ohms - so almost perfect continuity.
And between the ground and the mount on the coil tower 900-1200 ohms.... |
