Default Cleaning the intake

I just recently put on a Mightymouse oil catch can. Now that I don't have that oil going thru the intake what is the best way to clean the inside of the intake?

I know there is a thread about this somewhere on this forum. Which section is a good guess. But it's here somewhere. Do a search.

Take the TB off and spray carb cleaner in the intake. Unplug the fuel & ignition relay and turn the motor over as your spraying it. After a full can of cleaner is sprayed in it, let the starter rest for about 10 minutes then turn it over again and let the heavy liquid get sucked out. Then reconnect the relays and fire it up, might have a little white smoke for a split second but then should be good.

I put in tub of Purple Power overnight and cleaned it real nice. Of course, take everything off of it first.
