hey guys... i got my carbs all set to go!!! im still working on the tps :(.. im still trying to figure out how to turn the tps down?? everytime i move it, it just goes back to where it was(the grey part with 2 tabs on it.) please can someone explain exactly how to do it? i can't find it anywhere just what to do :(

also... since i have carbs off and the whole interior is exposed, it looks like hella.. all hoses covered in dirt crap.. oil/coolant all over... PO never took care of bike what so ever.. also it is from the uk because it is in km and it also have the firestorm logos on it... so can anyone tell me what exactly or how to clean?? block carbs off? spray with engine degrease? or what?
I would like to clean all of it like brand new again since its so damn ugly and disgusting.. i know people wont see it.. but I will know.. and I want to take the time and do it right and make it my baby :(...

also... I want to paint my bike 1 day.. I would like to do the frame matte black... as i've seen in pictures somewhere... how much harder/more time would it be to get that done?? do I need to take the whole frame off to paint it? or do I cover up stuff?? or how much harder is it to do that, while i got carbs and tank and everything else off??

i am heading to walmart now.. to get engine degrease cuz I know i need that much... but what else do I need?? can i clean all the hoses and plastics and everything with degrease?? I appreciate the help fellas.. stuck on the tps and the cleaning/painting question at the moment :(..
