Using Ultrasonic

I broke down and ordered a digital heated ultrasonic cleaner.
I've read plenty about which solutions to use. (There are some
strong opinions out there!) But, I haven't seen a whole lot
about how long to cook a carb in one. Searching through here
someone I saw one post where someone was putting it through
several 5 minute cycles. That's it. So, how long should one
cook a carb? And, at what temp? Thanks.

Really depends on the item being cleaned, the solution and the
power of your ultrasonic. Carbs are tough to tell because the
tiny passages trap the dirt and don't allow the debris to float
away. They often need to be probed with a wire and flushed with
carb cleaner to get all that junk out.
A lot of the cheap ultrasonics have a 5 minute timer because
running them longer can overheat the transducers. Be careful
repeatedly cycling your cleaner and let it cool if the outer
housing gets hot or you start tripping any thermal protection
the unit may have.
You also must be careful with the cleaners you use. Solutions
with high alkali content will etch or stain carburetors. Add
just enough to get the job done. And never forget and leave
parts in the unit when it has shut off. That will cause staining
or loss of anodized surfaces also.
Lastly, remember that the cleaner removes all oils and any steel
parts can flash rust so needles, levers and springs need to be
thoroughly dried or sprayed with some sort of protectant as soon
as they come out.

Guy in the CR-G said this stuff is the best he ever used in his.
Blew away all the other mixes used like simple green etc he
said. Made for the job at hand.
So thought I would save and share this here too.
