use carb cleaner... don't let fluid sit in there... let it dry completely before re-installing

Default btw... not to second guess you but
one of the posts i read from the past suggested that carb cleaner had the ability to melt plastic, whereas brake cleaner and/or TB cleaner did not.

food for thought

Default engine degreaser= not good idea>
you are usally supposed to wash it off with water, I think. Probably not a good idea. Just did mine with the brake cleaner today, and what a difference it makes!! :-)

True - and your ISV is metal where the carb cleaner should go.
