If someone could point me in the right direction for one of these that would be great!
Not sure if this was the right section or not..

When using an ultrasonic parts cleaner keep all parts in the baskets as anything on the bottom of the tank will wear a hole and ruin the cleaner. They are great for small parts like jets but unless you buy a larger one the carb bodies will not fit. Micro-mark sells two sizes of cleaners and the cleaning compound

The correct ultrasonic cleaner will work at two discrete frequencies; one for large surfaces and the other for internal passageways and hold about 7-8 gallons of cleaning solution minimum. These units should also be heated. This type unit can cost a couple $K.

Honestly - you may be better off with a gallon can of carb cleaner that you can get at AutoZone. The key is that ultrasonic device is a "Jewelers Model". It will work fine on jewelery, and maybe a few small parts, but I doubt it will work very well at getting grunge off a carb.
The chemicals used in ultrasonic systems like this are typically not very aggressive - in the big industrial machines they are more caustic.
I use the gallon can stuff for carbs, etc - leave parts in for a day or two and they come out looking new - but do not get the stuff on your hands, or put any plastic parts in it. It eats holes in your hands, and makes plastic disappear!

Ive got a gallon of that stuff. It dosent seem to work very well.
If a carb body will fit in the basket that holds a gallon or two, why do I need 7 gallon capacity?

You are certainly welcome to do anything you like. If you want to buy a little jewelry ultrasonic that can clean one carburetor body at a time, that will work but we do a minimum of one full set at a time (disassembled). Like I said, do some research on which frequencies work for which application and get the cleaner with the correct frequencies of operation otherwise you will spend your money in vain.
