**Take It Apart**: Start by removing the carburetor from the bike. Make sure you take pictures as you go, so you remember how to put it back together. Then, disassemble it carefully, noting where each part goes.

**Soak in Cleaner**: After taking it apart, soak the parts in a carburetor cleaner solution. Let them sit for a while to loosen up any gunk. Just don’t forget to rinse them off afterward!

**Use Compressed Air**: Blast out any stubborn dirt or debris with compressed air. It’s super effective for getting into those tiny passages that are hard to reach.

**Check the Jets**: Pay special attention to the jets. If they’re clogged, it can mess with your bike’s performance. Use a small wire or a carb cleaning tool to clear them out.

**Scrub It Down**: Grab a soft brush or an old toothbrush and give everything a good scrub. This helps to remove any remaining grime. Just be gentle, so you don’t scratch anything.

**Inspect for Damage**: While you’ve got it all apart, check for any worn or damaged parts, like gaskets and O-rings. Replace anything that looks sketchy to avoid future headaches.
