Looking into getting an ultrasonic cleaner to do some carbs. What do you think of this one? Not worried about setting entire set of carbs in it at once as I only do 1 side at a time anyway.
Have to agree with that. The Harbor Freight unit is 2.5 liters, will hold both carbs and costs retail $79.95. Print this coupon Harbor Freight 20% off coupon to get 20%, or $16.00, off the retail price. This will bring your total before 'bay shipping or sales tax to within about $10.00 of what the 'bay unit sells for. There are several of us that have this unit and it works well.
It's only 2 1/2 inches deep. Not even one carb would fit.
This is the one I have used in the past with great success. And if you go buy a magazine for trucks or cars, in there will be a 20% off coupon that you can add to any sale price at Harbor Freight Tools. Sonic cleaner
The above listed one from Harbor freight is what I own. I waited until it went on sale on their website, then took in the 20% off coupon, got it for $45.
I used the Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner. It works. But you have to keep restarting it, it times out after about 8 minutes. If you don't seperate the carbs they won't fully submerge, you'll have to keep turning them. It does however work at a reasonable price. I used mean green and distilled water.

I've got that same HF U/S cleaner. I used it today to try to clean up some lug nuts from my boat trailer.... rusty, nasty looking things. I used the ultrasonic on it for several minutes at a time for at least three tries, using white vinegar as a cleaning agent. Didn't really get the effect I was looking for.
So now those lug nuts are floating around in some corn cob media in my brass tumbler that I use for reloading ammunition. We'll see how they look after buzzing around in that all night.
Heat helps, but while running any US heats the water without an outside source, albeit more slowly. As for the 8 minute limitation, by the time I finished haggling with the folks at HF, I bought mine for $39.95 + sales tax out the door. Received a discount for buying the model on display and combined that with the 20% coupon. For that kind of money I really don't mind re-starting it a few times.
saw a post a while back, a plastic tub add cleaning solution and strapped to the tub side a an electric hand sander,, who was that,,and did it work,,,thats my kinda ultra sonic cleaner
What's the problem with heating the water before you put it in the device. You will probably even get it hotter than the ultrasonic cleaner can. BillRod
