I wonder if it's worth cleaning the breathers out with vinegar (cheaper than carb cleaner) and you could always dunk the plenum in a bath of it but on 2nd thoughts it might destroy the eleccy gubbings at the back  ;D

Try Coca Cola - even better reults!!  Used to use it years ago to free off rusted nuts and bolts.
