Apparently, carb cleaner is too harsh (key word is apparently). Our TBs have a teflon coating on the inside to help prevent deposit/gunk build up. Some carb-cleans are apparently too harsh and damage that coating. How much of that is true and how much is rumour I don't know... but this is what I always use FYI:

It specifically states "Teflon safe" on the can...
