needing to do routine maintenance. just change the oil and filter, adjusted chain and lubed it. also cleaned air filter and tire pressure. I was wondering on what the best way to clean the carb was. any tips please help.  

carb cleaning 101 anyone?  

are you having problems with the carb?

if not then just add some super unleaded, that will help clean it out.

if you are having problems, the best way to clean the carb is to remove it,
then remove the bowl from the bottom.
using a wire bread tie with the plastic coating melted off, or a .10 guitar string.
run it through the jets to be sure they are clean and clear of debris.

make sure the bowl is clean and that there is fuel gum or trash in it.

then carefully remove the pin that holds the floats on being very careful not to lose the needle valve under the floats as it is really expensive to replace.
once you have the floats off and the needle valve out;
inspect the floats for holes or cracks.
then inspect the needle valve for wear and the housing it came out of for fuel gum or trash.

put the carb back together and reinstall the carburetor.  

thanks man. yeah i've been having problems with the throttle sticking, flipped me on my head, so I think its time to do something
