Has anyone here purchased and used a cheap ultrasonic cleaner? If so can you share your experience and perhaps drop a link from where you got it. Maybe some pics of results.

I bought this a few years ago because i have about 60-80 sets of carbs, You have to separate the carbs to fit them in. If I only had a few sets to clean up i wouldnt buy another . Just set them in diesel fuel for a week then spray out and clean everything. www.kzrider.com/forum/21-tools/476135-ultrasonic-cleaner-test

A few years back, I had a tennent, a senior woman move out of 1 of my houses. She threw out all kinds of old junk. I found a box, never opened from 1980.
It was a sonic foot bath massager with heat made by Sunbeam. Holds about 2 gallons. I used it a few times with 50/50 simple green and water. It works great

Diesel fuel? I was trying to get them shiny. Is the diesel better than Chem-dip carburetor cleaner?

it will make them shine and won`t discolor the metal like some cleaners do

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI bought one of these a few months back:


Working on a really nasty set of carbs atm, and it works very well.
Can only do one carb at a time.
Tried it with simply green at first, but that did not get the real build up of old gas off.
Pinesol worked much better.
Don't have any after pix with using the pinesol, but here are before and after with using the simply green;

I think I'm going to try diesel fuel then hit it with a dremel to get so shine on it.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI bought this bad boy last year. I've done countless carbs and various other pieces for all sorts of things. I use simple green and water. It really works wonders.


I can't leave this blank.
