yes you can get a carb cleaner but that would not really be fit if you are still having problems after cleaning it and all that. I had replaced my carb's butterfly and pretty much had it opened and examined but the mechanics actually lack the ump in determining what the real problem is... I might as well pick up a new carb from elsewhere and get my hands dirty with the help of my mechanic, but then again, i might as well let him do all the work because i did a good job in obtaining the new carb! I just don't know if I can get a new carb from honda though...
