So I just have some questions; is it something fairly easy to do and what do I need to clean it with?
Wow, are they looking for work or what. Yeah, it's not a hard thing to do and will take you about 15-20 minutes if you're handy with a wrench. It's just 4 bolts, remove the venturi for the crank case breathers and get a new TB gasket from Rob at NeedsWings. Take a rag, shoot it with carb cleaner and wipe everything down. Don't spray carb cleaner directly on the TB as you can wreck the bearings in the TB by doing that. Use a few q-tips to get into the places you can't with the rag, put it back on and enjoy a beer when you're done.
