Can I use automotive gumout carb cleaner to clean the carbs on a 1989 175 johnson gt, and use canned compressed air to blow it out?

Re: carb cleaner

Assuming you're taking them apart, yes. Don't use the stuff you add to the gas. It messes with the oil. Oh, and just squirting it down the throat of the carbs while it's running doesn't clean the carb, but it sure cleans the oil off the moving parts. :eek:
