Anyone used them? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=590284416 Looks good for carbs and small stuff
looks good Jase, think your work needs one!
Yeah, my mate has done me some carbs, they come up mint.
I used to sell them. They work well on injectors and carbs. I did my old Honda 500 carb and was amazed at what came out of it.
haven't used THAT one but yeah, i think ultrasonic is THE way to go for the carbs cleaning. depending on the carb body alloy though, they may come out not LOOKING pretty - they can have like "discoloration" marks
Have showed the boss, I WILL talk him into a bigger tank model, about LC case size....................... Psy, were the carbs stained and it was under were the stained the discoloration happened? May have had had gunk over staining before the clean
No, carb bodies were clean to start with. They came out not uniform in colour but darker silver in some places and lighter in some other places. I boiled them in water and lemon juice and they became uniform in colour again, i.e. with no darker spots. The guy at the shop told me whay it can happen but I no longer remember
cool, good they return to the same colour, Just need to get the boss to buy one ;-)
vapour blasting afterwards puts the appearance back to new without introducing any grit into them.
oh yes, vapour blasting
DSL Automotive in Napier is the seller, Diesel shock, injector and pumps http://www.dslautomotive.co.nz/ http://www.ultrasonics.co.nz/ Boss keen on getting a big tank model for doing pump and compressor parts. Will go shopping with him later in the week, might see if they will throw in a 2.5 ltr for doing carbs at home
I used to have a fuel injector cleaner that had an ultrasonic bath....and of course I used it for other things. I don't reckon they are that good on carbs, they will get rid of the stuff you can clean up with carb cleaner or acetone, but the hard shit and gel seem to stay there. And discolouration too, although that might be more to do with what you use in the tank. Rather than use the expensive ASNU chemicals, we were told to use Turgo windscreen washer fluid in the tank. I never used a solvent in the tank....I was cleaning fuel injectors, not carbs. It also used a solvent through the injectors at pressure and pulse, the ultrasonic bath was another process.
Aha! that's it... i remember now that the guy at the shop that did my carbs said that the discolouration of the carb bodies had to do with the fluid they used in the ultrasonic bath. thanks motu
