I always use brake cleaner and a rag works great

Do not use brake cleaner on it. There's a coatingthat food uses on them and brake clean will take it off. Use a throttle body cleaner.

Carb cleaner is not the same as throttle body cleaner. Pick up a can of CRC TB cleaner [ 2015-01-04, 12:21 PM: Message edited by: 92_5.0 ]
