[Adam 005]

Thinking of getting one of these for cleaning carbs and small parts.My question is has anyone used them and do they work?

RussellT uses one, cleans carb bits with it. Works quite well apparently.

Pm Alan aka 123 gtt, hes been using one and raves about it.. Someone else has one on here but forget who..

They seem a good bit of kit.

ive watched a few videos of them and they seem quite good, but obviously theres going to be varying results with different equipment, i wasnt sure what was good and what wasnt so i ended up leaving it.

I purchased a cheap one from maplins ultra 7000 or summat like that it did work quite well when I cleaned my carb also used it to clean some other bits. I got a cleaning agent with mine aswell which does help.

[Tony Walker]

i looked in maplins too was that one circa £50-60?

[123-gtt]

The're are fantastic bits of kit,but you get what you pay for,look for one with more than one transducer more the better and about 6 litres to fit a full carb in,also the solution makes a massive difference to the cleaning process, a built in heater is a must too!
this is the last one i got for carbs

I'm looking at buying one for work, I need a good size one for the parts I need to clean... It'll have car parts in it over the weekend though

[Brigsy]

I bought a cheap one from aldi, was shocked how much ****e came out of a clean carb body after a few goes

[Kris M]

Ive got the same one as Brigsy, work well on small bits and bobs

[steer from the rear]

Buy british mate, I did a load of looking around, if its for work and you have a good budget, there is some class industrial ones, ceramic transducers in the bottom and sides,I will pm you a few links to some companys.
Like I said before, chemicals is the key, right ones to do the job, also look into a ultrasonic rinse tank
For a cheap bench to one, I can not fault mine, I had my carb in for 5.00 mins@60© and the **** that came out of it was crazy, the water was jet black,and I all ready cleaned it with 2 tins of carb cleaner.

Also for the kind of cleaning we are going to be doing with them, lower frequency is better,35-40 hrz, there is a lot out there for the dental industry for cleaning micro fine places, not needed on a engine block or head, the lower the frequency the more aggressive cleaning in big areas

Have you used it to clean your carb yet?

[Logg]

I picked up one of these today from Aldi 19.99. Now time to find things to clean.

[Tony Walker]

i saw it today too, was so tempted lol but in reality it just would mean id be taking my engine back apart.....

[Adam 005]

so have got my self a cleaner.After looking on ebay to see what sort of cleaning additives there are i found i could only be it in 1 liter bottles which would last for everbut before i buy has any one here any info on what additives they use and where to get it

[Bunje]

i have a the cleaner mentioned above the jpl 7000 i think and it came with some cleaner stuff from maplins seasonic or summat like that tbh it made no difference what so ever lol i just went to using water and washing up liquid in the end.
