Lycoming instructions are here:

I cleaned mine after 1000 hrs of operation and my fuel burn dropped by 0.5
gph when running lean of peak.
Gradually they got worse at atomizing the fuel and I wasn't able to run as
lean.
Its easy enough to do that I'll probably do it at each annual.
1 hr is a bit long for the hoppes, 20 minutes is recommended, at $30
ultrasonic cleaner might be worthwhile also:

Any idea on a recommended solution to use in an ultrasonic? I have seen
admonitions against using volatile solutions like Hoppe's #9 or MEK but
no information on what should be used. I use an ultrasonic for cleaning
rifle cartridges and the solution is intended for brass but I don't know
if it would be ok for injectors.
