How to clean a Nikon F3 that smells faintly of mold

Recently picked up this Nikon F3T for a ridiculous deal from a late gentleman's yard sale last weekend, but when I brought it home I noticed it smelled faintly of mold. Only noticeable when you put your nose right next to the camera. There is no visible mold anywhere at all, all glass looks to be in great shape and internals appear flawless. How should I go about cleaning it? I've given the leather a quick wipe with 91% rubbing alcohol but don't know how I should go about cleaning the rest of the camera.

Ghost 212 doesn't want to start after swapping carburetors

I have a mostly stock Ghost 212. Since buying it in November 2025, it's ran excellently (as expected), eventually bought a Nibbi PWK24 to try and get some power out of it earlier this year. PWK was giving me a hard time with the tuning so I ended up throwing the stock PZ22 back on to ride it. I got an ebike and started riding the bike less. Threw the PWK back on to try and tune it again, no luck, then put the bike away for like 3 weeks. After putting the PZ back on because I'm selling the bike, it doesn't want to start. I had the PZ sitting without any gas in the bowl and absolutely nothing has changed on the carb since it last ran perfectly. Bike sounds like it doesn't even want to fire. What should I look for? Need help ASAP

P.S: PWK had 105 main, 40 pilot, 1.75 turns mix screw out from fully in. Didn't want to start. Advice on this would be nice
