AndyDtr08 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Ok, so its's a bit of a random thing to post, granted. But it made me think and i was just wondering if anyone else has ever tried this. I follow a blog called Hotukdeals and one of the deals on there today is an "Ultrasonic Cleaner" which is 14.99 from amazon. I was reading through the comments and one guy said he uses them to clean carb's. Obviously you'd have to be careful what you used in it but might be worth a shot. I get my bonus later this month from work and im pretty sure the idea of the bonus is to blow it as soon as you can on random things so i might give it a go. The Ultrasonic Cleaner is normally used to clean things like jewellery, CDs etc. from what i can work out, you put in the item and some cleaner ( fairy liquid etc, but could use petrol or muc off or parafin i guess) and it vibrates the dirt off the surface. Might be good for cleaning small parts you cant get inside. Dno, just a thought

Dno, just a thought I bought one from maplins last year it not very big but you can get a single carb in , but you need to totally strip the carbs down, i have an old 2 stoke kawasaki kh400 triple , the carbs look pretty clean , but it still managed to get some really tiny particules that carb cleaner would not have shifted
