Carb Cleaning

Sorry if this has been asked, it won't allow me to do a search...

My dealership tells me I need a carb cleaning, etc...

Is this something that is needed and can I do it myself?

make sure they have a left handed screw driver to fix the carburetor you don't have. maybe they mean carbon build up. how much do they want to charge you to (probably) clean your throttle body?

Not sure how much, I remember something beween $50-$100 and ya, it was for carbon deposits

Is this something I can do myself? I know there was soaking involved
