Funny story, I had a mechanic who swore by soaking in red vinegar. He used it a couple times and it did fine, then one day forgot one in the soak over night. Came in the next day and I could scrape away chucks of the carb with my finger nail. It was RUINED. LOL! Needless to say, he stuck with chem dip after that. 🤣
Lol
Good one
That’s a pretty cool mower. Can sure appreciate something like that after pushing a rusty manual one up and down my grandma’s hilly lawn back in the 70s.
Ultrasonic cleaners work well for cleaning jewelry, eyeglasses, sunglasses, nail clippers, scissors, and scalpels....
Surgeons, hygienists, stylists, and watch repairers use them, too. If you are on the fence about getting one, it has many uses....
Good comment
I was thinking “70 degrees?” That’s nothing. And then I remembered you are using Centigrade😀
Ultrasonics are INDEED a GAME CHNGER , anybody on the fence about the purchase ...BUY ONE . As Mick proves w this video , they are superb !
I purchased a 15ltre unit almost a year ago now & wished i would have bought WAY sooner . Purchased a larger unit as i do Snowmobiles , Motorcyles , etc....aside from small equipment , larger capacity is crucial when dealing with " racked " carbs .
Good comment
Another fantastic video from the most knowledgeable lawn mower technician! Thank you so much for your help over instagram messages with my Mountfield!
You are welcome mate ..
The one thing I wanted on a ultra sonic cleaner was a drain tap, ended up with a 6l one. I fill the tank with tap water and put the bits I want clean in jars with the cleaning solution. I’ve used all sorts of lotions and potions as cleaning fluids but have settled on Allendale carb cleaner. I find it does a great job. The Ultra sonics are a great bit of kit to have, mine gets used to clean rifle brass too
Fantastic idea... They are a great tool
We used to put our bits in a cut down coke bottle with thinner and sit that in the sonic which had just plain warm water in it, you can pop items in and out without burning fingers 😊👍🇮🇪
Used less thinners too
Good idea
One of the best bits of kit I have purchased carburetor comes out looking brand new
We agree!
I clean them 1st if not, in the bath they go 😂 good video mate
Thanks for the demonstration Mick, I've been considering getting one for a while for another use, so this would be an added bonus !
Yes mate
I use a large plastic mayo container holding my mix, and just fill up the ultrasonic cleaner with regular tap water, it's easy to use, and clean up is a breeze, and got the large plastic mayo container idea from small engine saloon, it was a game changer for me.
Good idea
If you have an old metal tank and problems with rust in the carb, you should put a filter on your gasoline hose to ensure it doesn't get to the carb.
No the tank was fine ... And so was the fuel .. I checked it
Ok, had the same issue with an old outboard 2-stroke where rust came from the gastank and clogged the carb repeatedly until I placed a filter on the hose.. Eventually changed the tank to plastic.
Great video
I sure enjoy my ultrasonic cleaner. Definitely makes yhe job easier.
Great video.
Thanks
Brilliant video. Shows how useful it is to have the right tools and how to use them
Glad it was helpful!
A wonderful piece of kit to have in the shop Mick and love the hat by the way. Basically, if your using carb cleaner at $16 Cdn per can on a daily basis it does not take long when you purchase an ultrasonic cleaner to recover the cost and after that it is all profit eh! Here at EP we have been using ZEP Orange along with many other degreasing solutions with great results. A little pish posh of that white thinners sounds like a stellar idea mate. Now time for some bangers and mash!
Love bangers and mash
Great video you do a great job cleaning carbs I watch you mustie1 and tarly dactal
Thanks 👍
Master carb cleaner micks mowers Spot on Mick 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Good one 👍- a very good and inexpensive tool to have in the shop
It sure is!
It really made a difference well done I might have to get me one !
Do it mate .. it will change your life

HI Mick.
I love my ultra sound cleaner, but it isn't perfect.
Often the rubber tip on the float needle needs a squirt of carb cleaner and a rub with a finger to remove the last bit left.
I literally have a day most weeks which I put aside for carb cleaning. I use water and a squirt of washing up liquid, which makes a change from the smell of grease and oil.
I start off with making a coffee and using the left over hot water to heat up the cleaner as it's quicker than the heater.
I use a coffee makers grounds holder for the small bits, but I like the tea strainer.
Heat is important as I often say I'm boiling a carb as I've tried cleaning at about 16 degrees, (didn't solve the problem) and at then at 60 degrees, even more muck came out and problem solved.
They do need regular cleaning out, as I was surprised how much comes off a few carbs
So I also agree "Hell yeah", they are worth it!
Ta for watching mate

I have 3 ultrasonic cleaners, 10L in my side shed, a 15L in my front shed, and a 6L in my mobile van, I use my mix in all of them, and never had a problem, and never met a carb my mix couldn't clean and make work like new.
Thanks for sharing!
@themowerman my pleasure, hey give it a try, it really works well.
Mick the mower man and his four legged assistant 😂
Hi Mick
Great video , i use my ultrasonic tank all the time.
Looks like you have the Disease bad, those mowers are breeding and getting closer to the house.
Time for another Fence!!
Lol .. I told Mrs p that they are a garden ornament lol
Over locked down I used one for Nitrosurge Guinness Cans
Great idea
If you use my mix, it will save you lots of money, number one, use a large mayo container for the mix. OK, fill the ultrasonic cleaner with straight tap water hot or cold doesn't matter, the action of the cavitation of the ultrasonic cleaner will heat it up no problem. 20 minutes per cleaning cycle. Now the most important part, the mix, in the large plastic mayo container, mix this, 25% white distilled vinegar, 25% simple Green "PURPLE" make sure it is the purple, cause the regular green doesn't work well, the purple is concentrated, then 50% distilled water, ie baby water, do not use tap water as the minerals in tap will will mess up a carb, now only leave the aluminum carb in the mix for no longer then 1hr, as it will turn the aluminum carb black because or the vinegar, if you do what I say, you will never use carb spray again. Trust me my % of mix works perfectly, then rinse with water, and blow out with compressed air, just be safe with the level of air you use, then when you are done, just empty the mix back into the mixing container, as you can use it up to 50x.
Love my ultrasonic cleaner. I run all my carbs through it. Quick and easy. All i use is some Dawn dish soap work awesome. You should remove the gaskets and rubber seals out are the heat will distort them.
Yeah try pain thinners .. it works well too
Does ultrasound cleaners they look like they do a real good job hi guys thank you for the video
They are great
They are dead handy
Yes mate
Nice.
Did that carb have an emulsion tube in it I didn't see you remove it always best to remove rubber o rings and gaskets very good explanation otherwise. Another great youtuber is James Condon
Yeah it did.. I put it in the clamshell before cleaning
Ok thanks for your reply just missed it I suppose
I never leave gaskets or rubber grommets on the parts to be cleaned. You never mentioned cleaning the fuel tank, i suspect that if you had cleaned it in the first place that you would not have had to use the ultrasonic cleaner ??????
Yeah sorry I did drop the fuel and it was good .. just a dirty carb.. ta for watching
I should invest in a decent one, mine's a pile of %^^%£.
Mine is good.. as I say.. I have had mine for 4 /5 years now
what air compressor do you have?
150ltr oil pump.. belt drive compressor
Go mow the lawn mate
Too bloody wet mate ...
