I would try using the carb clean only in the locations you need it. Soaking everything will remove any lubricant from the places it needs to be. The best bet as you already know is a complete teardown, so you might as well accept it, grab a couple of Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier 1/2 liter bottles (alternate acceptable substitutions: Samuel Adams Octoberfest, Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest), and get to work!!

These particular throttle bodies are a big-bore bolt up for my GPZ750 after swapping the TPS sensor. Anyway, they are pretty sticky - I've cleaned them in gasoline for a few hours and they are significantly looser, but still not returning to the closed position as promptly as I'd like. Anyone have cleaning suggestions? Should I completely tear down? Soak in carb cleaner? D.
