The BEST Cleaning Method ?

<< < (2/9) > >>

omaha:
a low priced ultrasonic cleaner probably wont do a good job. I bought one (A Kendal machine) that is big enough to fit my carbs/parts but it doesn't seem to have enough power. I paid roughly $400 for it, and I am disappointed. It is heated and I just use water and a bit of dish soap. Does not seem to work hardly at all. Cleans jewelry just fine though. I wish there were a way to give it some more power. I may try some other solvents in the tank to see if it helps but I  am not going to get my hopes up. A powerful ultrasonic cleaner would probably cost at least $1500 I'll bet. However, I am going to keep on with the experiments with my machine and various additives in the water. I know if you look at some ultrasonic websites, the sell specific solvents to add to the water that are supposed to be just for carb cleaning. Good luck!!

Do you know what the power rating is?  I am looking at one that is 48hz and the tank is just big enough to take Qjet parts.

Anyone know what power rating is needed to clean these carbs?

 Cliff would probably be the best one to answer that question, since he has a dedicated ultrasonic cleaner. ;)

But Cliff's machine is an industrial one where as I am looking at something smaller.  I might just try to find some Berryman and quit trying so hard.

PMD1969:
Bought a can of Berrymans #0996 only to find out that it is the California junk that is weak sauce so its going back.

I am now looking at a product called spray Nine Industrial Scrub.  I have yet to find it but does anyone know if this stuff is good to go?
