Ultrasonic cleaner size
« on: May 13, 2026, 09:31:02 PM »
Quick question for you all, im looking at ultrasonic cleaners on Allendales, is a 3ltr going to be large enough for a cb550 carb?  Or any model recommendations?

Thanks Dom

Only just seen this.

I bought a RK255H by Bandelin. That is 3.7l but they come in various aspect ratios. I chose that model because it will take two carbs at a time, but there are long ones you can get inline 4s into. That bothered me less because you would always separate them anyway?

If you followed this up I'd be interested to know how you got on.
