Hello all,
It's going to be my first throttle body clean this weekend! So besides taking out the idle control valve and the breather box + flame trap to give them a good cleaning too, what else can I do with the throttle body out of the way?

I was also thinking of changing the intake gasket, because idle is a little rough and with a stethoscope, i thought i heard hissing/suction between the 2nd and 3rd intake. But I fear it's something else hissing and my work on the intake gasket will make things worse or be for nothing. Will test with carb cleaner to make sure but initial tests were negative.

Thanks for your suggestions.
