The 6 liter should allow full immersion of the pair. I get about 3/4 cover in my 2.5 liter unit.
Just make sure you don't use anything that is caustic to aluminum or you won't be happy for sure. I use Dawn and it works pretty good, won't harm metal parts.
I have a 3 liter cleaner and while it works great, a little larger one would be even better. Look at the size of your carbs and compare it to the size of the basket in the cleaner. Be sure to get some decent liquid cleaner and mix it properly with water and run the cleaner at the proper temperature.
Do you use this product straight or do you dilute it and if yes @ what ratio. Thanks
I bought the HF 2.5L one and the HF powder a few months ago to clean carbs. I was disappointed that the max timer setting is only 8 minutes when Larry recommends cleaning for hours. The instructions say it will overheat and shut down if you run it too long. I tried the powder on some sample small items and saw no effect at all. I did use simple green HD to clean a carb from an 86 Honda Civic in it. But I had to flip the parts over and over and over to get it all cleaned. I was not impressed with the results. I would not recommend this one. It's too small and too weak.
I hate to give advice….it’s seldom any good…..but here’s my two pence worth. For a sonic cleaner, a minimum 3 liter is needed. Probably another half liter is even needier. Get one with a built in heater and set it at least 10 degrees less than the directions on the cleaner indicate. The sonic motion will generate heat and overheating is probably worse than under heating. Lastly, do your homework. Different metals and different items require different cleaning solutions. Dish soap and vinegar are a good start. Cheers!
Oh, and a couple of other things. A handy feature on an ultra-sonic cleaner is a drain tap/valve to drain out the old cleaning solution without having to unplug the unit and dump it somewhere. Most cleaning machine timers will go to at least one hour. And try and be very careful about the amount of time you run the machine. Softer metals (like the aluminum used on motorcycle carbs) can be damaged by over-heating or using the wrong solution.
I bought a Zokop brand 230HT 3.2 liter on ebay for $120.62 and I am very pleased with it. Heater and Ultrasonic works well just remember to turn it off with switch on the back side.
