When something like a sudden lean condition happens, I sometimes make a decision as to whether I should do carb cleaning or tweak the fuel/air mixture. And the compromised decision is to pop off the fuel bowl only and clean it out as well shoot carb cleaner where I can at the carb. I might find something, I might not. Quick and easy to do....if the fix is negative, then I take it further.
