    I use orange cleaner to clean the entire engine. Spray liberally on a warm (not hot) engine, let soak for 5 min, spray off with hose (preferably power washer, but a nozzle works too).

    Just don't forget to cover up your alternator and battery terminals with some glad wrap first.

    Are you talking about the inside? If so i would use a little bit of gas give her some shakes and let it drain out then be sure to run some water through it to flush the rest of the gas out.
