    Loosen the hose clamp off the big black tube and pull the tube off the TB. Clean it. Reassemble. There are more thorough ways to do it, but if you need to ask how, you probably shouldnt try it.

    well thats the thing, i need to learn how to do this, i've picked up other tasks to do, i cant get any books on this, all i needs a reference guide, essential things to do, things to avoid doing, several guides ive seen contradict it.

    Like saying unscrew several things not unscrewing some things, cleaning with water, petrol, carby cleaner, metho etc.

    I just need clarity
