Thinking of getting a ultrasonic cleaner to cleaning out carbs. Wondering if you guys have found a decent buy on a cleaner? And what kind of cleaner fluid do ya use in these. And how long to you usually leave a carb in these to get a good cleaning. Thanks

Harbor freight has a good inexpensive one. After trying about a half dozen different cleaning products, we found that the powder which harbor freight sells works the best for us.

What kind of time are we talking about to give a carb a good cleaning.

You won't regret it. It's works so well that we have gotten to the point where 90% of the carbs in our shop are put through it when we are doing a tune up. Just remember to clean the exterior of the carb before disaasembly, as the solution will last longer. We get about 5 carbs through before needing to change the bath water.

I bought the Harbor Freight Chicago heated ultrasonic cleaner back in July. The cleaning powder HF sells is just made for cleaning jewelry not small engine parts. I buy the cleaning solution from design technology dot com aka tinytach dot com. Cleans really well with that solution and its design to clean small engine parts.
