    Does anyone know if the MAF on the Cali 30 can be cleaned using the spray shown below? It says not to use it on Karman-Vortex sensors, which I believe are uncommon, but I don’t know if that is what I have or not. Has anyone cleaned their MAF and if so how? My problem is carbon build up and I’m going to change the plugs as well as run a tank of fuel system cleaner through. I’ve already replaced the air filter elements. Thanks for any input.

    That's a KV sensor. Don't do it. The ones with visible wire can be cleaned. Those work by temperature delta as the air goes by and cools the wire. The KV's work by calculating wind speed from turbulence around the structure you see in there like the eddy behind a rock in a river.
