When I use my ultrasonic cleaner I try and use boiling water from the kettle to assist with the temperature. I also soak for a while to loosen the gunk of then agitate with a toothbrush or other small parts brush. My detergent of choice is Screwfix degreaser cheap as chips.
Great video as usual. Quite incredible how cheap you can get an Ultrasonic unit now. I've used them when working in an electroplating shop and they were insanely expensive to buy and not very reliable. Hopefully, this unit will be reliable, please do let us know how you get on with it in the future.
I suppose that it would really depend on the cleaning solution that you use. In most instances i would replace all o-rings anyway for new ones whilst it is apart! 👍🤓
Nah, paraffin wash is way better, carbs would of been done in 10 minutes and never of needed another wash. Ultrasonic cleaners are a lazy gimmick and only really good for jewellery, not greasy engine parts. Put some effort in and do it properly 🙄
@@KevsShed alright Kev I'm just wondering how much it would cost to get my carbs cleaned on zx6r 96 I've just had a quote from a garage near mine for £400 does that sound about right cheers?
Always love getting new toys!

I certainly will mate, I am sure that we will be seeing it used often! Hopefully it'll last a fair while. 👍
Great video! Whats your thoughts on rubber parts such as o-rings used in the links between the carbs etc being in the ultrasonic cleaner?

a very good video as usual. thank you.
what size cleaner are you using? there are several options in your link.
Mine is a 15 ltr model. 👍🏻
Hi Kev have you read the data sheet on that cleaning fluid, good vid as usual
Yes I have, it was as boring as I have come to expect from an SDS! 🤓
What concentration are you using the Ubik 2000?
I actually can’t remember what it said on the bottle, I’ll check and get back to you bud when I’m home 👍🏻
@@KevsShed that stuff is super corrosive - get it wrong and your carbs will dissolve.
Absolutely! 👍🏻
@@KevsShed far better is citrus degreaser - orange oil - Clarke’s concentrated parts washer fluid
Good info, I’ll check it out 👍🏻
Beats the paraffin recirc malarkey! 👍🏻
You got that right!
