throttle body cleaning 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Dan on  Thu Oct 7 16:23 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Use carb cleaner to remove the gunk. WD 4o is a vegetable oil based lubricant which may combine with the gunk to make it worse. You want to disolve and wipe away the gunk. Pull the throttle cable line attached to the drum to open and close the throttle plate. Use a clean rag to wipe of the gunk. If you leave the gunk on your throttle it will cause the throttle plate to stick (not a good thing). It is difficult to screw this job up.
