Ultrasonic cleaner solution for carb parts etc
Lobo:
Funnily enough I’ve been dunking my fingers a fair bit of late into my ultrasonic bath. An odd and mildly unpleasant sensation, can’t really describe it. But, whilst I have a growing distain for ‘authority’ etc, surely if such cleaners maimed folk they’d have been outlawed long ago?
PS… fingers all present / correct and pink. Phew. Furthermore, they’ve survived a few years ownership of a V Twin MotoGuzzi, which leave my hands numb after an hour 😬

Put your parts in the jar then into just plain water in the cleaner. Just enough water so that the water displaced by the jar doesn’t spill out the cleaner. The jar also contains all the muck cleaned off the parts.

I've tried the glass jar with petrol & it seems to have worked quite well on the brass ware - my Ultasoc bath is not large enough to put a carb body in a jar but great tip.
I've ordered some Allendal Carb Cleaner to try as well.

Nice one Ted👍. Make sure you rinse the carbs after using the Allendale cleaner to stop any white deposits appearing after a few days.
