And does yur wife ask you how you keep your nails so clean now.!!! Lolz

[@daviddelle774]

You should always fill the ultrasonic cleaner up to the fill line to avoid damage to the cleaner and to help intensify the the sound waves. A good way to do it is to fill the ultrasonic cleaner almost to the fill line with plain water. Then put your parts and solution into a jar and put the jar into the ultrasonic cleaner. It will clean your parts inside the jar without using nearly the amount of solution and it keeps the ultrasonic cleaner clean. Try it, you'll like it!

[@jonmyers8046]

I was going to suggest both of those things you said 👍

[@edwardkawecki8101]

My go to for carbs or most anything nasty is soda blast in my trinco cabinet which takes about 3 to 5 minutes then in my 15L ultrasonic cleaner full of hot tap water that was degassed with 1/2 cup Dawn set for 30 minutes at 60 Celsius (140 F). All liquids degass enough after the first 30 minutes with nothing to be cleaned in the tank or about 5 minutes if using the old liquid if still usable and clean enough. If I use other chemicals with smaller parts I put them and the solution in a glass jar and use the water/soap or just water in the tank. Water solution dissolves soda unlike the glass beads or sand if caught in any passages. Great videos! Thank you.

[@ve6hdh992]

Pre-heat the water/solution prior to starting the ultrasonic machine. You should even try the CLR product for the carbitrators with lots of water/scale build-up. Let us know how this works out.

[@victoryfirst2878]

Dactyl, you are the man with a Ultra cleaner. Job well done fella.

[@johnfromnj885]

Couple things. I've been using an ultrasonic cleaner, much like the one pictured, for a couple years. I use straight GUNK, I have a 10 liter, it takes 2 big cans. The liquid will remain useful for about 50 carbs before I change it, more if you hit them with a quick cleaning with brake parts cleaner before putting them in. First thing is you're not supposed to run the cleaner with just minimum liquid in it, it will damage the unit. Should be to the fill line. Second, I disassemble the carbs down to the core casting, and spray them down with brake cleaner before they go in the tank. My goal is to clean up the varnish in the small parts of the carb you can't get from the outside. I cook them for about a 1/2 hour. I put the jets and other small parts in a basket, and the carb body on the provided basket There are some carbs that just don't benefit as much from a ultra sonic cleaner, some of the older Briggs and Tecumseh with plastic jets. Ones where you can't remove the jets.

[@getyourkicksagain]

Even plain old tap water with just a dash of any soap works fine. The less suds the soap makes, the better it will perform in an ultrasonic cleaner. The soap (surfactant) is mainly used to break the surface tension of the water, reducing air pockets and getting all the interior surfaces wet with minimal bubbles. Air acts as an insulator, so any surface that is not in direct contact with the liquid will not be cleaned by the sound waves. Also, as many others have mentioned, be sure to fill the tank to its full capacity, as the transducers are matched to a full load in the same way transmitting antennas are. This will minimize standing waves, which actually reduce performance and could cause the transducers and heating elements to fail prematurely. I use pre-heated tap water with just a dash of degreaser. I place the parts in (machine turned off) and rotate them under the solution to get as much of the trapped air out as I can. If the part has many air bubbles sticking to it I will usually brush them off under the water; sometimes powering the machine on and off suddenly will dislodge them from the part and they will rise to the surface on their own. If you leave them there they will just dance on the surface of the parts. For really dirty parts I will place the parts in a glass container with any solvent and put that in the full machine. It works really well and you don't contaminate your machine. Just *do not* use the heating function if you use any flammable or combustible solvents.

[@818garage]

It works best when full but I recommend you fill the unit with water and use a container of solution to put the parts in, a medium or large plastic bag works best for me then set it in the unit

[@handyhippie6548]

i use one o' them gallon pails o' berryman carb cleaner to soak them in. see how that stuff works. it does a heck of a job by it's self.

[@johnzudans7724]

Does your manual say to fill the container to the full position to avoid damaging the unit. Mine does, apparently the transducers can be damaged by low water in the tank. Not sure if yours is affected the same way.

[@motoman5023]

Yes your right

[@conundrumconundrum5589]

Vinegar or CLR in the cleaner will get the lime scale off. It will need to soak overnight before ultra cleaning. The reason for the distilled water is that the minerals have been removed. The lime scale is the result of the minerals in the water so you don't want to add to it.

[@jameshedrick6839]

I've been watching your older videos and i've been using dish soap from dollar tree and it works great in my ultrasonic cleaner

[@bobkernahan6340]

Using distilled water will by itself help to dissolve dirt and minerals because it has zero dissolved solids and acts as a solvent hence the saying that water is the universal solvent, most tap water has a total dissolved solids of 500 parts per million or more so it is already saturated with dirt and minerals

[@victoryfirst2878]

Would using crushed black walnut shells be better than sand particles on soft aluminum carburetor ??? How about using so sort of solvent for cleaning the metal carburetor ??? Also, my friend made a special bottom for his ultrasound basket to prevent a wear through the inside tank part. That way you really increased the life expectancy of the unit. CHINAMAN items usually do not really last that long, they need some love.

[@Jewelrymaker]

You shouldn't run the ultrasonic that low. Not only will it burn out the transducer, the heating element is usually located more toward the top of the tank.

[@perrymattes4285]

Just a tip Taryl, If you put water in the ultrasonic and put your parts in a ziplock with whatever cleaner and water then pop the bag into the water in the ultrasonic. The vibrations pass right through the bag and clean it in the bag. Clean up is a snap just toss out the bag and mess afterward. it also keeps your parts together not lost in the bottom of the ultrasonic..

[@jamiebuckley1769]

try using dishwasher pods or dishwashing powder it takes baked on carbon off of pistons.

[@knighthawk86855]

Another tip for the longevity of your ultrasonic cleaner, don't drain it while it's hot, let it cool all the way down, cause if you drain it while it's hot, you will damage the heating element, another tip hook up a clear hose to the drain valve, and in line use a paper element fuel filter, that way it filters out the crap and you get clean solution that you can use over and over again, clean out your ultrasonic cleaner once a month, it will make your ultrasonic cleaner last for years.

[@kastbarg]

Other videos I've seen recommend that an untrasonic cleaner only be run with the reservoir full. It supposedly makes it last longer but if the transducer is just in the bottom I don't see how.

[@gregorypiercesr.794]

so it's been awhile and how is the cleaner working now? what solution do you stick with? great video

[@Alex-vb8kq]

Mustie1 uses carb cleaner that comes in a metal can. Seems to work well.

[@BlackoutsGarage]

That's all I use in my ultrasonic cleaner. It's worth spending the money. Carburetors come out looking brand new!

[@Nighthawk75]

Yeah he uses Gunk Carb cleaner you can get it almost anywhere and it cleans the carbs much better than all the stuff Taryl just used I watch Mustie1 all the time and seen some terrible looking carbs come out looking new again.

[@bobbaleno4894]

good idea with the float on backwards. because, um floats float. you done need to worry about flipping it halfway through. share that tip with mustie1 13:10 splish, splash carb was taking a bath

[@donparker8246]

Mustie 1 uses Gunk carb cleaner in his. He heats it, but not too much. Just a thought.

[@randallwilhelmi964]

If it were me I would use Kurd Kutter cleaner degreaser and what a difference. Tarly as always you crack me up. Excellent demo on the ultra sonic machine. Thank you, great video.

[@ScottMiller-tu3gg]

I use Simple Green Extreme. It is formulated for use on aircraft (safe on aluminum). It is a little more expensive, but you dilute it and a gallon goes a long way!

[@ozz5350]

Mr Tarly look up Steve’s Small Engine Saloon he might have some good ideas on using the Ultrasonic hope it helps 👍👏👏👏

[@larspeter3474]

i want a full version of the famos "ultrasonic cleaner" song - because the teaser sounds great !!!

[@lundsay]

i use the dish soap and water method but in a mason jar and my ultra sonic parts washer full of windshield washer fluid so it wont freeze cause unfortunately my garage isnt heated and i live up here in the great white north of canada

[@williamvaughan1218]

I use lemon pine sol. I do a lot of weedwhacker carbs. Its super cheap, works good and smells nice. lol

[@ummagowa]

Use sodium hydroxide mix with warm water. What are you washing dishes?

[@kameronkenney4007]

I use simple green HD and it's amazing. I also started with purple power but as you've found, it etches the carb. I get it from Walmart in the auto section and it cleans carbs better than any other cleaner and I've tried a lot. I also have a small container of berryman carb cleaner that I set into my ultrasonic which is still full of the simple green HD and that works for extremely dirty carbs that you need cleaned in a hurry. If you want to try several different products I would recommend doing it this way as it will cut down on your testing time. Again bill you are Ultrasonic Cleaner with regular water or just leave your current solution in there and then fill small plastic containers with the other cleaners and set them down into the ultrasonic cleaner that has your old solution in it which is only there because you have to have a liquid in it. Hopefully that makes sense

[@notajp]

Regular Simple Green can discolor some carb bodies, so I use the HD version too.

[@knighthawk86855]

I have a 10L and a 15L in my shops, I use 50% simple green purple, 25% distilled white vinegar, 25% distilled water, you don't want to use tap water cause it has particulits that can actually clog a carb, with the mix I use, and I have used it for over 10 years now, and I haven't met a carb it wouldn't clean, back to working order, I use it at 50c hear, and don't use the heat and the ultrasonic at the same time, heat it up first, then turn off the heat, and then turn on the ultrasonic part, and it will heat up the rest of the way, that way by having the heat off the ultrasonic waves are stronger, but with my mix don't leave it in the mix longer then 1hr.

[@patdennis3751]

Just go get some Berryman's Chem Dip in the gallon cans. It works fantastic in ultrasonic cleaners

[@clsmallenginerepair3814]

Yes it does,, thats what i use.. Gas in a plastic or glass jar works really good

[@ScottGovey]

Yes Berrymans chem dip for sure! Stuff works great just by itself.

[@claudelandi510]

Just fill it up to the fill line with tap water...then put whatever solution you decide in Clean Plastic peanut butter jars with screw on lids and put the parts in the jar...screw the cap on...and put it into the water...the ultrasonic waves will go right thru the jars....and clean the items in the jars as if you had them directly submerged in the tank....and it saves you from having to clean out the tank after each use...and also saves on cleaning solution costs....just my 2 cents...give it a try...

[@fitzgeraldrobert7589]

vinegar and water does a good job for lime in kettle

[@geyser3445]

I use carb cleaner and the parts come out great.

[@mrbrown6421]

Train of thought at the moment.... Since Ultrasonic Cleaners make the contents vibrate at high frequencies, the solution really needs to have a fine (powder) abrasive mixed into a solvent. The various liquid cleaning agents and soap are only (weak) chemical dissolving agents, so they provide minimal deep cleaning, as shown in your experiments. (they all work the same, except the more expensive ones empty your wallet faster). Your sand blaster illustrates a fine example of using air to force an abrasive onto surfaces for cleaning, however it can erode parts so they no longer fit properly. An abrasive mixed with solvent (water and cheap soap) will provide a greater benefit than pure liquid, no matter how expensive. That is why we use sandpaper, but it can't clean as deep as highly agitated water and abrasive. Now you ask, but what abrasives? This question can only be answered by considering the frequency of the cleaner. Microscopic abrasives, for this purpose, need to have a mass and size proportional to the frequency of the cleaner. (sure, Physics sux). More simply stated: Small particles: Baking soda Medium: Crushed shells of nuts or clams. (think about a tumbler used for cleaning brass) Large particles: Sand Stay tuned as Taryl experiments with different abrasives. (And there are VERY many). Best wishes to all.

Tap water usually has 3-400 ppm of calcium & magnesium in it. Not good when using ultrasonic cleaners.

[@JohnnyDont]

Then add that many ppm of white vinegar and it'll neutralize and dissolve it. The remaining salts would be negated by the soap in the water.

Hey so I use Ultrasonics cleaners for work (med device reprocessing) your old one might have corroded because of the grate you put In the bottom of the basket. You want to avoid putting dissimilar metals into them at the same time as the cavitation will actually transfer playing and other components of the metal to the dissimilar metal and will damage the metal. You can use tap water that’s fine I would use low foaming soap as that will help strengthen the cavitation as the foam can weaken the cavitation action.

[@fredsterner5248]

I watched Steve's Small Engine Saloon's video just before yours. As Knighthawk's Mowers points out, Steve uses plastic jars with the solution and parts in it and only water in the tank to save money. He even uses gasoline sometimes. That way, you save on solvent and don't have to constantly clean the tank on the machine. The only reason he doesn't use glass jars is because the break bouncing off his hard floor, but you could use them if you use a solvent that attacks plastic. I enjoy all of your videos, you know your business and you share alternative methods for people who don't own the fancy tools. Thank you.

Instead of sand blasting the corrosion try soda blasting. That fine sand gets everywhere and is quite difficult to remove from the throttle and choke shafts where they pass through the carb.

I like your new ultra-sonic-cleaner Tayrl,very nice!.Now,I will say this,I have worked with a very large version of this machine. It was a floor standing model that held about 25 gallons of cleaner and ran on 240 volts. It was used for cleaning band instrument parts back when I used to do machining and cold extrusion work for the band instrument industry a very long time ago. Since time is money,(especially for your shop)put the distilled water and Dawn dish soap mixture in a microwave oven for about 3-5 minutes,then dump this into the sonic machine,it will be up to temp.alot faster then waiting for the sonic machine to do it.(just a thought)

[@thomvogan3397]

A 1 to 1 mix of distilled water and white vinegar will remove grease, scale and rust. Add 10 drops of dish soap per gallon, this acts as a surfactant, allowing better contact and penetration. Line the bottom of the part holder with stainless steel screen. Cheers

I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS THERE ARE HELPFUL I WOULD APPRECIATE THE MODEL# ON YOUR ULTRASONIC CLEANER and where did you purchase it from

[@ronaldeisel5927]

Hey Taryl the instructions probably don't tell you but you should run the unit at the "full" line which maybe marked on the tank. The reason for this is to create a "standing wave" in the liquid which transfers the power from the transducer more efficiently. The best chemical (detergent) to use is Alconox (liquid or powder) which is an industry standard. And you can use the solution over and over with no problem just may need to filter the "crud" out of the solution from time to time. A quick test to determine if the power from the transducer is getting to your parts is to look for a standing wave on the surface of the liquid ~ you can even hang a smooth piece of Al foil in the tank and if everything is working correctly it will get holes in it from the energy.

[@spooncarvingwithtom]

Simple Green Extreme Aircraft solution works very well for all parts. Its concentrate on amazon under $20 works great. Also best if you keep your fluid level an inch from the top. Hard on the transducers if it runs lower. Also best to keep basket or anything else off the bottom of the unit. The branson and crest brand that we have suspend the basket on the top edges of the rim.

[@magnum164]

For all of those saying to simply use tap water, I did a LOT of research into this when setting up my CNC machine. The reason you use Distilled Water is to reduce the amount of algae and other contaminants that can build and make your system stink. If you are using it and cleaning it every few days, a lot of these solutions are fine. But my CNC machine sat and collected oil and other contaminates, I had to make sure I used distilled water or the whole house stunk. Also, if I did not use the machine for a few days I would turn the pumps on every couple of days and agitate the fluid to prevent algae build up.
