TOPIC:

I picked up a used Model #4 Branson 8200 ultrasonic cleaner to clean my carbs and other parts with and was told I could use a 2 parts simple green to 2 parts distilled water. I did a test on a old set of carbs, but it tarnished the bodies black.
Does anyone know a ultrasonic cleaner solution to use for carbs/aluminum??? Not interested in anymore home mixtures.

Yeah that's happened before a few times with Simple Green. Be careful.

I've heard great things about Pinesol.

I've had good luck with Berryman's Chemtool

Pine sol turned my two sets of 26mm carbs a sickening dark charcoal grey/black too.
Berryman's didn't do diddly squat and a complete waste of money.
The thing that worked was an hour and half with 2lbs of baking soda at 7cfm and 90psi.

I use a sonic cleaner every day all day at work with a
25-75 mix simple green and tap water and have never
had an issue with carbs turning black

About 30 min. at 150 degree's seems to work just fine for me..

Does anyone know a ultrasonic cleaner solution to use for carbs/aluminum??? (Store bought solution for cleaner)
As I said in my first post. I'm not looking for anymore home mixtures.

1220 is all I've found to work

Thanks for the heads up on the 1220 guys!
I seen that in my searches yesterday. I also contacted Branson to see if they had a cleaner that was safe to use on aluminum carbs to remove varnish/crud and oil. I'll copy and paste the reply I received.



Kenny,
Branson Ultrasonics referred your inquiry to my company for follow-up. We are a distributor of their products.
Branson's MC-3 is safe to use on aluminum. Attached is a product bulletin. Also, following is s link to our website for part numbers and pricing information:
