Cleaning the throttle body on my boat...using Justice Bros.TB cleaner...throttles pushed all the way open.(enigne off)..cleaned one engine fine. Engine #2 half way through the little 5" long plastic spray tube shoots off the can into the TB and is GONE...
So I call a trusted wrench and he tells me: " Do what I would do...close your eyes and turn the key and see what happens" SO after an hour of contemplating taking off the TB...no gasket kit at the dealer...I turn the key and hit the start button. Fires right up...no noises, vibration...nothing..running smooth as silk...so I let it run for 20 minutes pushing the throttle up to 3000 rpm revs...nothing.
Went back later...fired right up...smooth again.
Has anyone else ever done this?
Would you pull the TB or just let it go?
