Can you repair a ceased throttle body?

Post by Stereo »

So the Throttle body on my GSXR is ceased, I have removed it from the engine and sure enough all the bottom valves are stuck solid.

I was discussing it with Stace, Ron and Duane yesterday and they mentioned I could bath it in something to see if it unceases... Been researching online but havent found any answers, anyone have any ideas?

English is stupid, The first time you see something you "Cognise it" but all we ever user is re-cognise.
If you degrease something you take off the grease......so deceased should be what ;) a zombie? :lol:
