Anybody done it? Was there much gunk inside them? Any improvement ie car running smoother? What did you use? carb cleaner? Will the dirty fluid not run into the engine? How much work is involved? |

How much work is involved in removing, cleaning and replacing them for a person far from a mechanic with a set of spanners and common sense? |

with the bodies facing away from you, it makes it difficult to see what your doing. as you wipe it, the dirt will clump up together, and as you have the bodies jammed open, the chances are it will fall off the rag and into your engine. yes u can be careful but none the less, dirt will fall in. |

Good info lads. thanks for the help. I'll inspect them on the car and see what they're like. What if i just clean them with the bodies closed. Any point? |
