Default Carburetor Cleaning... I REALLY NEED HELP!

Well, my grizz needs a carb cleaning and I don't want to take it to the dealer to have done. Last time I did this on my wolverine i had no clue what I was doing. Can anyone shed some light on the EXACT steps to clean my carb? I am not really proficient with all the terms / parts in the carb so pics would be very helpful. Thanks in advance

well dont quote me on anything i say to be perfect but to clean my carb i would take it loose from the airbox and engine, then i would turn it upside down, take off the bottom, then u will be able to see all the jets, then i would spray carb cleaner into the jets, and then i would put it all back together. Thats how i would do it but i am no mechanic.

There are a few, how tos online, this one isnt too bad.
carb cleaning
You can also do a search for motorcyle carb cleaning...they are the same.
Just keep clean and organized. If you need to...take digital pics to help with the reasembly.
Make sure to remove the pilot jet, and make sure the thru hole is totally cleaned out. Its a very tiny hole, and its the first thing which plugs up.
Count the number of turns, the mixture screw takes to lightly seat, before unscrewing it. That way, it can be put back to the exact same setting, when youre done.
