So here's a few dumb questions. While I was changing the flame trap, I noticed there is some gunk inside the throttle body of my '97 850 NA.

What's the best way to clean the throttle body? WD40?
I assume this can be done without taking it off the engine?
Can I screw this up?
Is cleaning really necessary anyway - Is the gunk a bad sign?

As always: thanks.
