carbon buildup

[bandit]

i cleaned under the small cover on the intake and some carbon got into the lower plenum, what is the best way to got it out? take off the entire intake and clean or what??

get an adaptor for your vacuum cleaner thats used for cleaning computer keyboards, hard drives, etc... it'll reach right down in there.

(woo! 1,000 posts for ME!)
