The Permatex 80279-12PK Motor Muscle Throttle Body Carburetor and Choke Cleaner is a versatile spray that can be used to clean carburetors and throttles. It effectively removes oil, grime, and other debris. However, some customers have reported that it is not effective at removing carbon build-up and that it may not work well on all types of vehicles. One customer also reported that using the spray upside down resulted in only gas coming out. There is also a warning that using the spray on vehicles with molybdenum-coated throttle bodies may cause the coating to come off.
