Chances are the throttle body could do with a clean. But just take off the breather box and you can open the throttle and see down into it

If it's not clean shiny silver it's dirty, for best results take it off so you see it better
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
