Ultrasonic parts cleaner

[racerrad8]

How long in the cleaner and at what temperature for carbs?

Thats something that I found little info on.............

Time varies by the condition of the carbs.

I have never checked the temp of my cleaner, but I know you can't hold the parts when they come out with bare hands.

Even without heat it they work well.  The element on our cheapy burned out pretty quickly but it still works...just take longer.  About two hours.  The ultrasonic action actually warms the water up quite a bit.

 Have any of you fellas tried a solution of the Yamaha carb cleaner in the sonic cleaner? I have had very good luck with the carb cleaner over the past 20 years but I haven't used it in the sonic cleaner tank. I haven't found it to mess up the exterior either.

Well, since I have a 2.5 gallon cleaner it would take forever to generate any heat via the ultrasonic motion.

Also, the Crest soap requires heat to work properly.

Operating Conditions
Chem-Crest 235 is typically used at 5 - 10% by volume in
ultrasonic applications. Normal operating temperatures:
120 - 180°F, dependent on the material makeup of the
substrate, and the contaminants being removed.
Contact your Crest representative for product-line
specific recommendations. Recommended rinsing water
temperature: 120 - 150°F.

I have heard of all kinds of concoctions people use in their cleaners from Ammonia to Simple Green to lye based drain cleaners.

I use the cleaning solution based on the proper application of the carb material I am working on. I cannot chance damaging a single carb.
