Howdy, good folk of Retrorides. I've just ordered an ultrasonic cleaner ( specifically for cleaning bike carbs/parts). What I'm after is advice as to what fluids people are finding the most effective/cost effective. I've read a bit, but a lot of the advice comes from the States, so doesn't mean the fluids they use, are available here. One guy praised white spirit, others laundry detergent - in water. Can anyone spread their knowledge please.

 I wanted something with a decent sized basket/drum, so I could get the whole carb in, in one go. Not much more than the price for the 3 ltr ones. |

I used to use a small one like yours years ago for cleaning one off parts for R&D, they were only slightly oily and water/detergent was fine. I asked a friend who worked with dirtier stuff and she recommends using ammonia.

This the sort of thing you can use on petrol fuel injectors?

I use fairy liquid as I am too tight to buy anything else, I am sure I have seen a few different recipes for cleaner have a google as some things clean better in different solutions Washing up liquid has salt in it, so make sure you rinse off afterwards Supposedly used to thicken up the mix, so the thicker it is, the more salt in it Ttfn Glenn |
