Ultra sonic cleaning
kevin 755:
Can anyone recommend a place for ultra sonic cleaning of carbs in the North West.
Cheers Kevin.
JamesH:
Kevin - for the cost of the service you may want to consider getting yourself a small machine & doing it yourself.
It's pretty straightforward - happy to walk you through the process...

Pete..
I did have an Ultrawave 25L tank until it broke last year after 3 years of regular use...need to send it back to them to be fixed..

I bought the following 6.5L tank on ebay a few months ago to temporarily replace it - is heated and has a 30min timer and I'm very impressed so far for the cost.

Also I generally change the fluid between cleans and with a larger tank this gets expensive as more of the solution is used / wasted.
JamesH:
Sorry meant to say with the 6.5 L tank you can easily get two of the four CB750 carb bodies in there. I generally put them in as pairs and work on the clean pair whilst the other air is cleaning.
Also, if you have stuck float pins / stubborn to remove parts it's worth soaking the while carb unit at 60-70 deg for 10-15 mins, then quickly remove and try again to freee up / remove the parts that were stuck.
I've brought back quote a few sets of carbs from the grave that looked uneconomical to refurbish / clean.
