When using carb cleaner, spray it directly into the air intake while the engine is running to remove dirt and deposits from the air intake system. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the carburetor and spray carb cleaner onto the choke, throttle plate, and inside the carburetor itself while it's off the engine. Allow it to soak if necessary, then use a brush for stubborn deposits. Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from chemical exposure. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
