High pressure compressed air for carb cleaning is a no-no. Nothing more than about 35 PSI. That's why a carb cleaner spray can, brake clean or WD-40 is better than compressed air. If you insist on blowing it out after words, they make cans of just compressed air for than.
Why?
Because high pressure air can and will blow out pressed in restictors and such and you will loose them. Some manufactures will even caution you about high pressure air.

Good point.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
