Read allot of info here on this but saw no answers to what you can and can not spray on this to clean it. Carb cleaner/Brake cleaner or contact cleaner?
Thanks
Thanks

I assume you remove the front of the airbox so you have a good view of the TB and give it a good old drenching with carb cleaner or similar solvent with the engine running so it sucks a good lung full in? I am about to resort to something as potentially volatile as this as my car is still puffing on the overrun after a recent overfill....call me Old Smokey.
Any other suggestions for top end cleaners that can be administered safely without TB removal gladly accepted. (apologies for the deviation from sensor cleaning)

The carb cleaner I use smells like God's own explosive volatile.
Anyone around here know if the stuff is BOOM, BOOM?
(I recall we used aerosol acetone to start the carbureted Plymouth on Minnesota winter mornings...

I used a throttle body cleaner found on most auto parts shelves. Most likely a re-labeled carb cleaner.
I did pull the AFM completely off the car to clean and I also wiped it out with a rag.

Ether, huh? Fumes must'a done burned my memory cells.
What's a carburetor?
A: A carburetor means never having to say you're sorry... for pumping the accelerator to start.

No need to be more careful than with gasoline, which you are likely pumping down there all day long if you drive the thing.
