People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Letting the carb cleaner sit for a while will help too. Don't stick anything into the holes/openings as it's REALLY easy to accidently jam the stuff you were trying to clean into a corner in the hole and then it's a "dog" to get back out.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
