Cool

As long as they say "Safe for plastics" either of them should be okay. But having said that, I would try a few test sprays on the *outside* of the carb in an area that doesn't have anything attached to it. (Just bare plastic). Give it a spray, let it sit till it's all evaporated, then run your fingernail across the plastic. Does it feel hard and smooth or does it feel a little soft? If hard you should be fine. If soft go NO further.
