Ultrasonic

I know that most of you have heard about using ultrasonic
cleaners for carbs. Thinking I may look into buying one just not
sure witch ones are good. How many of you are actually using
one? 2+2 gum cutter has always worked fine for me. Have been
seeing a white film in some of the carbs I have been working on.
I would assume it is from the ethanol. Just what to make sure
they are clean.

I have HF USC about 8 yrs. old. However it hasn't had a lot of
use 25-30 carbs. I'm happy w/it. Simple Green & water 50/50.

I have a Harbor Freight also and a L&R ultrasonic cleaner. The
L&R is probably better than then Harbor Freight but it was a lot
more expensive.
The Harbor Freight seems to work fine though and I have no
issues with it.
Just be careful because some cleaners are caustic to aluminum
and will pit a carb in an ultrasonic cleaner.

I've had one of the tiny HF ultrasonic cleaners for about 10
years. Probably cleaned at least 100 carbs in it. Works well.
The cycle timer is annoying. IIRC, it shuts off after something
like 2 minutes. 5 or 6 cycles gets everything good and hot, and
usually is enough to shake loose the hidden crap in the carb.
The model I have is really too small, especially since I work on
Tillotson HL carbs for my old saws quite a bit. The fluid
BARELY covers the carb body for those big 'uns. I keep meaning
to replace it with something bigger (either a used dental unit
on CL or something from Amazon or eBay). Low enough priority
that thought and funds never get directed towards it however.
This is the first time I've thought about replacing my USC in
many months...

Seems decent. Should be plenty big enough.

The digital ultrasonic on ebay looks interesting. 10 inches
deep is plenty big enough for what we do and is heated. Price
is right.

That is what I was thinking as well. Think I may get one. Liked
it a little more for the metal outside then the HF plastic
outside.
