Default Cleaning the TB???

Hello all, I was taking off my Air Induction, and I noticed a lot of build-up in the TB... I was wondering what I should use to clean it out... I was thinking about just spraying some carb cleaner in it.. Would that be okay? What do you all use?

yup, carb cleaner, but its a good thing to use a brush of some sort and get a rag and wipe it out good... just sprayin carb cleaner on it wont do to much, stuff gets pretty caked on there

after your done, and you start it up, it should be a little hard to start, and it will smoke for a sec.... its just the carb cleaner burning off
