A penetrating oil tip!
Ok... don't know if you've ever seen Farm Show magazine... it's a lil rag of articles of kool & krazy things people build on the farm etc. They did a test to see what penetrating oil works best.
Here are the results... One of the most popular articles FARM SHOW has ever run was a short piece reporting on the results of a test of penetrating oils in Machinist’s Workshop magazine (Vol. 34, No. 3). The winner turned out to be a home brewed 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and acetone. It beat out Liquid Wrench, WD-40 and other popular “rust busters”. https://www.farmshow.com/ BoB

I read about that about a year ago and their findings are the best.
I actually think there was a post about it on here.

It's the only thing that freed up the stuck torsion bar adjusters on my '58. Keep a squirt bottle full in the shop at all times!

Only thing that even comes close is Kroil.... and honestly I'm not convinced that it isn't the 50/50 mix of TF and Acetone...Kroil is just too expensive to be spraying all over....

everything old is new again.
we were using this 50/50 acetone/atf mix way back in the 70's as a starting fluid, rusted cylinder cure. pour it down the carb while turning motor, if it would move or just pouring as much as we could get in thru the spark plug hole, let soak, repeat. scary good results.
