TB cleaning solution... Have read carb cleaner is too harsh...have also heard bs called on that...
have read to mix fuel inj cleaner w/ gas and use...
have heard...I just threw it in the parts cleaner and in the morning it was clean...
what experiences have you guys encountered...going to have the TB off to retap a hole for a jet and thought I'd clean it while I had it off and finally do the coolant by-pass as well...

well, I had a thought about how seafoam is petroleum based, so I called them...
supposedly, it works great as a TB cleaner and will not harm any of the finishes on the TB components nor harm any seals or o-rings either...
on another seafoam note...I told the guy that I was planning on doing the top-end clean so I would already have some seafoam that I could use on the TB...he asked what vacuum source I planned on using and I told him the brake booster line...he said that it would not evenly distribute the product in the intake to all runners...he said that the best source was whatever vacuum source is closest to the TB, engine side of the TB of course...he suggested getting the Deep Creep product instead of the liquid and use the provided tube to spray into the vacuum line w/o actually inserting the tube into the vacuum line because it needed air and product...he said to do this with the engine running, using a half a can or so...shut off engine...let sit for 5 minutes and then go driving...this contradicts everything I have ever read here or on any other forum for that matter...hell...it even contradicts their own directions on the can...

DeepCreep as a TB cleaner:
Run engine to normal operating temperature.
Shut engine off and disconnect air intake boot.
Spray DEEP CREEP into throat with throttle plate open. Saturate and soak. Clean with a soft toothbrush or cloth if necessary.
Spray into throat with straw attached to finalize cleaning.
Reconnect air intake boot and drive.
Make sure exhaust is well ventilated as fumes may be extreme for a short time.
Safe for teflon coatings, lubricates bushings.
