Ultrasonic cleaning

[xwhatsit]

Who does ultrasonic cleaning? In particular, of carburettors. How expensive is it?

Thanks in advance.

I think Red Baron had the gear in the w/shop.
(a mate of mine worked there back in 2001-2002)

I'd think most bikes shops would have one. I know Henderson Motorcycles does.

We run an ultrasonic cleaner to finish FDM parts [don't ask].....anyway the solution used is a mild caustic solution heated to 60 degrees...works a treat on just about any part.
Give us a PM bro'...sure I can help you out!

Oh. Ah. um. Caustic. Carbs. Zinc alloys. Uh, tread cautiously there.

I used to use the ultrasonic bath in my injector cleaner to clean carbs.I used straight windscreen cleaner,which was what was recommended for for the machine.Not that great - soak for a few hours in a warm water based cleaner of some sort is just as good.Then finish off with carb cleaner....acetone....whatever.Just clean and flash dry.

Father in law was a clock maker. I'm sure he had IPA in his ultrsonic cleaner. I'd just hit it with a can of brakeclean and maybe a toothbrush myself.

Well, seeing as I lost the auction there's no need now. I can get a brand-new Keihin CR33 (better carb) for less money, and I won't have to fiddle around with cleaning it either.

Thanks for the advice though guys, appreciate it as always.

Carbs are easy, get your billy burner and boil em in rinso... come on Ixion, your mum must've loved you stealing that from her!
