This helped mine as well, but Id almost chalk it up more to just tightening the front sprocket cover bolts. I cannot see how cleaning helped with an idling noise, but more to do with a loose cover that gets tightened down when the cleaning is done.

If it's coming from up top, it's most likely the cause that Pat suggested.
