Hi All

I am after some advice on cleaning the throttle body on the M113 engine. I will be taking the throttle body off to clean. I have order some loctite 243 and I picked up a TB seal from MB a few weeks ago.

Is it safe to use carb cleaner on the throttle body? I was looking on ECP for throttle body cleaner but it is not listed.
 
Good luck trying to get some, mate of mine tried to get carb cleaner as his lawnmower won't start, quoted 3 weeks delivery from Amazon (and he's a Prime member!) and similar on eBay!

I have some Carb cleaner lying around Chris but I am not 100% sure as to weather this is OK to use on the throttle body as there seem to be mixed views on this.
 
Its fine to use.
 
Get some electrical contact cleaner from Halfords , they are open
