ferm, i use a 50/50 solution of simple green, works pretty good. mine is a harbor freight cheapo, so i soak em in carb cleaner first and then in the ultrasonic. talked to a guy the other day who was using a strong vinegar solution and swore by it, so i might try that next.

Gotta be careful with the Simple Green. It says right on the label not to use it for carbs.. something about the caustic they use. That being said, I've never had a problem with SG on anything I've used it on...so who the hell knows...

Frem...I know it's a dangerous thing to do, so only do it OUTDOORS, but I got one of them thar ultrasonic thingamabobs about two weeks ago, and I used a 75/25 mix of gas and Seafoam on the plastic carbs on my Johnnyrude. Worked very nicely. (Just don't smoke around it...lol)

I've heard that a lot of ppl use alcohol..but I have no personal knowledge of that.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
