I still cant believe how bad it looked behind the blade. It was unbelievable!
Use the "seafoam" products to remove the buildup, they work very well. Would not recommend the screwdriver trick tho! But then, you gotta do what you gotta do.

usually a toothbrush and carb cleaner works fine. then a clean clothe. hard to get behind the blade unless you remove the entire TB. if your gas pedal sticks every so often, then you can get by just by cleaning the TB w/o removing it

Does anyone have pics on what it should look like after it's ported? Sounds like a mod I might be interested in doing.
