Ultrasonic cleaners
Original Message   Oct 16, 2008 9:21 pm
   Anyone using an ultrasonic cleaner?  What are you using besides water?  What are you results?  What's your wattage? 

   I picked up a Harbor Freight small tank machine of 160 watts.   The 160 watts is split between the ultrasonic transducer and a tank heater.  The tank heater is useless for heating a full tank and it has to be full to cover a carb.   The manual does not breakdown the wattage between heater and transducer so unsure of the transducer power.   A guess would 60 watts as the no-heater version which looks the same is 60 watts.   That's not much but given the price break for more watts at least affordable.  A local dealer here just got one for over 2000 and his is 300 watts with a heater.

    I've "cleaned" a few carbs but don't see anything spectacular happening.  Every once in a while I can see particles break off the carb and float away.  I could have gotten those with regular brush cleaning.  I do see some particles vibrating in the tank.  The hope is it might be doing something internally where I can't get like under the welch plug or into passageways.

The cleaners I used were 500 watt, with the heater.  The trays were stainless (tub),  anything could be put in them...   We used them to clean filters/ strainers on certain turbines (fuel nozzel and last chance filters)

They always seemed to work good.
