SHOOTOUT Ultrasonic Cleaner Filled With Pine-Sol Vs. a Pine-Sol Soak to Clean Carburetor Parts

[@bryancondrey6457]

I suggest using both methods. Soak for a day to help loosen the crud and then run the ultrasonic for an hour or so. Then go to your medicine cabinet and grab your old toothbrush (probably needs changing anyway) to finish off anything stubborn. Thanks for the time you invested making this comparison.

[@dazecars]

I agree. the part that soaked for 24 hours first didn't need much ultrasonic to finish it out.

[@garrybuckminster688]

I’ve been using ultra sonic tanks for carburetors and injectors and I have used pine sol for years and with heat it’s even better . Great video

Thanks for watching!

[@LeewardStudios]

Hint: place parts in ziplock type bag with your choice of cleaner solution. Place the bag in ultrasonic and then add water to cover. The ultrasonic “waves” will not be affected by the bag and cleanup is much easier. Also if you have sorted batches of bolts, nuts or smaller parts much easier to separate and you can use different solutions in each bad as necessary. I use this method for cleaning pew pew brass.

[@dazecars]

That is a good tip, thanks

[@TheGrizzlyGarage]

Just a heads up, you are supposed to fill the resevoir up to the fill line (right above the basket) failure to do so will result in your Ultrasonic Cleaner blowing up. This is according to the user manual.

[@dazecars]

good point

[@weegaz22]

Thats a pretty viscous looking liquid, try it with 50% water next time and heat the water, The lower the viscosity, the more cavitation effect present. Fluids with higher viscosity are sluggish and do not react quickly enough to form cavitation bubbles and the reduces the subsequent implosion effect, which is how they work, a side benefit is it'll also mean you can clean more for your $ as it'll go twice as far. might even be able to go 33% pinesol to 67% water. I used to use one of these for fire and flood restoration work back in 1998 when they were pricey pieces of equipment back then.

[@dazecars]

Thanks for the tip! I have been toying with diluting the pine sole for $ savings and actually because some detergents need some water for the soap and grime to bind to but I had not thought about the viscosity. For this shootout I needed to do a 1:1 comparison and the "internet wisdom" was to soak the carb body in 100% pine sol so the ultrasonic test needed to be the same. Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]

Might try diluting the Pine sol by 50% to water & putting the throttle bodies into a Ziploc baggy then add the Pine sol. Put this in the ultrasonic cleaner and add water to the tank. The ultrasonic action will work inside the baggy. Saves on Pine sol & cleaning the tank.

[@dazecars]

makes sense but the Pine-Sol was not expensive. I can see it as a way to keep the solution cleaner longer.

[@tomedgar4375]

I prefer a glass jar when the part will fit. The bags tend to leak.

[@dazecars]

👍

[@michaeldecker2725]

I was curious about that. The solution looked thick.

[@dazecars]

it is a little thick and soaps are designed to bind grime to water so it would we worth testing the effectiveness when cut with water.

[@rdm20fan]

I good tip I have used so that I don’t use as much cleaner, is I fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water, and I put the part and cleaner in a zip lock bag, or glass mason jar. This also helps to keep the ultrasonic cleaner clean.

[@dazecars]

Great tip!

[@joell439]

Great demonstration. I'm definitely sold on the Pine-Sol effectiveness on aluminum. Thank You Mr Daze! I have never spent enough time to validate the following..... but the internet cautions that you can damage the ultrasonic drivers if the tank liquid level is not full. YMMV "Steve's small engine saloon" did a series of YT videos on the ultrasonic cleaner when he got one. Also very interesting results.

[@dazecars]

yes that is true. It need to be 2/3 full or more so either put clean dummy parts to displace the fluid or add more fluid.

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

I’m just glad it doesn’t pit the aluminum. I work on small engines and soaking the carbs and other parts in that would be a perfect alternative to what I use. 🤝

I have a 15L utrasonic cleaner that I use all the time. I put almost 2 gallons of water and 1 quart of Pine sol and I use the heat it works much better and takes way less time to clean. I can have the parts look like new in about 30 minutes. You may say I don't need to clean them that fast but I do a lot of motorcycle carbs so I clean 1 as I tear down another on Ialso work on a lot of Crossfire cars so I'm cleaning 1 throttle body while I'm tearing down or rebuiding the other also there is no need to spend so much money on all that Pine Sol. Also you can buy a Soda Blaster for about $30 (Harbor Freight) to getthe nooks and cranny's. I hope this helps. Good video!

Ive been using a mixture of CLR/water in my machine for carbs. Works incredible. Just make sure all screws and zinc coated parts are taken off as it will strip them.

[@dazecars]

thanks for the tip. What ratio of CLR to water?

[@osimnod]

Perfect timing for this comparison as I just purchased the 10L Creworks ultrasonic cleaner for use on my motorcycle carburetors. Paid about $120 on Amazon (didn't know about your channel, sorry). Looking forward to using it with Pine-Sol. Thanks for the informative video.

[@dazecars]

Glad I could help! Make sure you check out my video on pine-sol and how it can etch some metals. It is not a super aggressive etch but important to know as a verity of metals are used for carburetors. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-mco13a62Hnrc

I have the $60 ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight I use at my shop to clean engine parts.

Amazon is sucking, as it is getting more difficult to find brand name quality products. It seems Amazon is replacing brand name products with cheap knock-offs.

[@Rambo-lc5bl]

Just advised, I made a mistake putting my goldwing full carburettor into ultra with TFR with a bad consequences now have to replace all internal rubber

[@dazecars]

You do need to be careful what you soak parts in. I always recommend testing first anytime using a cleaner that is not designed for that purpose.

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

When possible, I remove plastic parts as well. Nothing but metal.

[@dazecars]

👍

[@michaeldecker2725]

Wouldn’t you want to replace the rubber pieces anyway? I’m thinking the fuel we use now is corrosive and if you have the carb apart you’d want to update it anyway.

[@dazecars]

[@Mike-ti6hg]

The ultrasonic cleaner i have has a level of fill requirement. Up to the b ump out in the tank. Mine is half the size of yours but is an awesome cleaning tool. Highly recommend.

[@dazecars]

Mine has that same bump. I didn't quite fill to that level in the video but I have with subsequent uses.

[@firstielasty1162]

Remember that, if those were actually carburetors, they contain fuel passages and air bleeds that are usually inaccessible and difficult to clean. The ability to clean those is the real benefit of cleaning ultrasonically- the nice cosmetic effects are a great bonus. The cleaner might soften but not fully remove blockage from these often tiny passages, so always blow every single one out, meaning figure out where it goes, and be certain to verify flow through it. This requires some time and thought, but much less time than doing it twice. I verify flow with carb cleaner AFTER the ultrasonic clean, then blow air through everything. Former motorcycle mechanic... cleaned SO many carburetors, with and without ultrasonic. Often twice...you learn to be very careful and thorough the first time, it is is very much worth your time, even more so if it is a customer's machine that will be an embarrassing money loosing comeback.

[@dazecars]

excellent advice, thanks for sharing

[@10thAveFreezeOut]

I've had good luck with PineSol in a baggie with carburetors. Takes a little rinsing afterward but cleans better than other things I've tried.

[@dazecars]

its an excellent carb cleaner as long as the body is aluminum. If its pot metal the zinc in potmetal reacts with the one sole and etches the finish.

[@timfitzpatrick7680]

Try a cleaner called Alconox. It is a concentrated powder (only need a tablespoon or two, with water added to fill the Ultrasonic). It works with the detergent in the powder but also creates tiny oxygen bubbles that lift the dirt etc.. right off the metal - sort of along the same lines of how toothepaste works. It is good stuff and non-toxic.

[@dazecars]

👍

[@warwolfx0]

The viscosity of Pine-sol might affect the cleaning, try diluting it in the ultrasonic, it seems kind of thick, and try it with just water to see if there is a difference.

[@dazecars]

That is an excellent point, not to mention that "soaps" are designed to bond filth, grime, and oils to water molecules so the detergent might actually be more effective if water was added. I have not had cause to use the cleaner since shooting this video but my next attempt I am planning a 50/50 mix

[@X-22CamRS-SS-RS]

Thanks for the video. Point being is that ultrasonic cleaners are worth it. If you have to spend that much time on the outside of the carb to get it cleaned, just thing of all the ports and everything inside the carb that you cannot scrub. Carb might look good but you may never completely clean it to make it work properly.

[@dazecars]

Great point!

[@johnbutler5650]

As an addendum: keep purple power as far away from anything magnesium as you can get it! It will blacken it immediately (!) and will etch the heck out of it soon thereafter.

[@dazecars]

its the lye in it.

[@BillySBC]

With carburetors and throttle-bodies it's whether the inner passages are being cleaned and cleared out, not so much what the exterior looks like.

[@dazecars]

Correct, but the outside is easier to show on camera. The ultrasonic cleaner and P-S did wonders on these parts both inside and out.

[@buddyhaines]

The heat makes a tremendous difference!!!

[@timgile8144]

I use Simple Green. 1/4 c per liter of water. Very good results for me with the brown crud build up inside carbs

[@KJ7JHN]

Hey boss, could you pull out the old foot spa tub and compare, see if it'll work as an ultrasonic cleaner? Thanks!

[@dazecars]

[@johnbutler5650]

Not a plug, however, you can purchase a 2.37 gallon jug of Pinalin ( a type of pinesol alternative that is closest to original pinesol ) at Sam’s Club ( you can probably get the same thing at a Costco as well ).

[@dazecars]

outstanding alternative, thank you

[@MegaBruceC]

I just finally bought a sonic cleaner after doing the soak/scrub for years!

[@dazecars]

well worth the money

[@fritz4939]

Paint stripper works just as well as using the ultrasonic cleaner & you don't need to buy the equipment, it's what I always used 50 years ago in England to clean alloy castings including carb. housings & still use today. If used just make sure that after removing the spent stripper (after say 40 mins.) to remove the residue with a stiff brush & tap water & that all treated parts are then blown out using compressed air. However, IMO vapour blasting is the ultimate cleaning method, as everything comes up like new.

[@dazecars]

That is good tip but paint stripper is so caustic that I think it would be comparable to the available carburetor dips at which point I would use one of those. Harsh chemicals are what I'm trying to avoid.

[@chieft3357]

I've been using an ultrasonic cleaner for years to clean racing car parts. I also use the heating element. I'll have to try pine-sol

[@Neilywop]

Did you try the heat function? If so did it make a difference? Thank you for the video.

[@dazecars]

no. not yet. I know it will maket it even better but have not had the opportunity to use that function yet.

[@pauljefferies9087]

Pine sol leaves a thin film of varnish like material when used. It would undoubtedly leave that film on the carb and interior passageways of the carb. What effect would that thin varnish like substance have upon The carb?

[@dazecars]

I have done quite a few tests with pine sol and there was no varnish at all, no film, no residue, nothing but clean metal. If it was an issue in the past it is not an issue now.

[@steadyeddie7453]

Agitation and heat are key. Same goes for Evaporust. The ultrasonic cleaner is great for removing grease and cleaning out carb passages and orifices. But if you want the body and venturies to look "next level" purchase a decent hand held soda blaster and blast the carb body. It will remove the oxidation and leave a great finish. The soda completely washes away with water so your not clogging passages or orifices again.

[@dazecars]

good point

[@donwest5387]

I used vinegar for my cleaning solution (Weber carbs)

[@dazecars]

Thanks for the option

[@ScotEd-o2w]

I have an ATV carb that someone added draino to the fuel and made the float bowl corode bad the rest of carb is unhurt, I picked and scraped all I could used baking soda and toothbrush to scrub so far hasn't eaten up anymore but how dose pinesol work on corrosion

[@dazecars]

It is not very affective with corrosion. Most soap based chemicals are not going to tackle corrosion. If the carb body is for sure aluminum the white corrosion power is aluminum oxidize and is very resilient however something lye based will dissolve it BUT it will also etch the aluminum so you need to be very carful not to damage your part. 9do this at your own risk) Purple power is a lye based soap and may cut through the corrosion. lastly many carb bodies are not aluminum but rather pot metal so be extremely carful not to damage the metal as the main ingredient in pot metal is zinc and zinc is easily dissolvable in a verity of chemicals

[@tonybernheim8365]

Yes..Hank T5B..Chem Dip..Just remove plastic/rubber components first..Then just submerge in a clean metal container..Just use Lemon Pine Sol for the floors and toilets where it belongs....

[@dazecars]

Thank you for your comment

[@honkie247]

I used Pine-Sol to clean a 13 hp Honda carburetor in my ultrasonic cleaner. It ate pieces out of the carb bowl. Thought it was because of the ultrasonic cleaner, so I tried putting the rest of the carb in a plastic container and cover it with Pine-Sol. It severely etched the carb. Beware what you use to clean different carb parts.

[@dazecars]

That is not an aluminum bodied carburetor. It's likely pot metal which is mostly zinc and yes pine-sol will etch pot metal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-mco13a62Hnrc

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

I'm pining for an ultrasonic cleaner, but the pine-sol soak will have to do for now. "Like a Carolina pine forest!" I wonder if one of those smells different than a white pine forest.

[@dazecars]

I think pine is pine when it comes to smell 😂😂

[@gsav6995]

What solvent would you use if the linkages were still attached to the throttle bodies. Some suggest pine sol pits steel. Any thoughts? Great vid.

[@dazecars]

PineSol can cause rust the surface line but does not seam to have that issue if the part is fully submerged. May cause pitting if soaked long term. I have heard good things about dishwasher and laundry pods with water but I would never try something without testing it on something similar that I was not concerned about getting messed up.

[@alliered13]

I’ve never tried it but always wondered about putting a little air line down at the bottom of the bucket and bubbling air up through the fluid as an agitator. Thank you for your videos.

[@dazecars]

that may work as an agitator OR it may create a barrier between the part and the solution as air bubbles tend to stick on the side of submerged parts. The other issue would be foam. Most "soaps" are going to produce an excessive amount of foam. A solvent like mineral sprites probably won't foam but then we are adding air to a flammable liquid... probably not a good idea 😁

[@nastysoda9212]

main thing is the ultrasonic will get gunk out of parts you cannot reach, which is specifically important with carbs.

[@dazecars]

exactly!!

[@pureblood5903]

Dirt will go everywhere in the part, when it settles it sticks. I recommend to swish the part around and pull it out while the machine is still on.

[@dazecars]

I have heard lots of people have had good results using that but I have also heard that like many of these other non tradition carb cleaners simple green can etch some metals.

[@theperl9663]

I also use clean plastic see-through nut containers with diluted simple green, holds small parts, injectors, screws, etc. Fill tank up to the same level as the containers. Works very well and no clean up of the tank. Reuse the containers with the used simple green for the next parts to be cleaned. Also simple green is biodegradable.

[@dazecars]

Maybe try a smaller tub with the part and solution sitting in the US cleaner with water to save the volume needed. Impressive results on the cleaning though.

Why would you not use the proper Carb. dip cleaner? Just cheap im guessing. I use berrymans carb dip cleaner and its much more effective if you care about actually cleaning the jets and fine passages as thats more important than looking pretty on the outside. Just saying, If your going to take the time and money to invest in the equipment, dont cheap out on the cleaner.

[@dazecars]

It's not a cheap thing at all. Traditional carb dip is nasty, it smells bad, burns your skin and is not easy to dispose of. Pine sol has been proven to be an excellent alternative to carb dip. There are tons of videos on KZbin showing the effectiveness when using it. It does as good a job as carb dip but is far less toxic, less harsh on the skin, easy to dispose of and smells WAY better.

[@crazyjon1tire854]

LMFAO😂 so you think his way only cleans the outside and does nothing to the internal passages that are filled with the same cleaner that cleaned the outside 🤣😂🤣🤦‍♂️🤡

Exactly!! and by using something less costic I can easily use the ultrasonic cleaner which totally helps clear said passages but if I was using tradition carb dip I don't think I would use the ultrasonic cleaner. The funny part to me is that the assumption is that I'm using Pine-Sol to save $$ 😂😁🤣
