    You should always fill the ultrasonic cleaner up to the fill line to avoid damage to the cleaner and to help intensify the the sound waves. A good way to do it is to fill the ultrasonic cleaner almost to the fill line with plain water. Then put your parts and solution into a jar and put the jar into the ultrasonic cleaner. It will clean your parts inside the jar without using nearly the amount of solution and it keeps the ultrasonic cleaner clean. Try it, you'll like it!

    You shouldn't run the ultrasonic that low. Not only will it burn out the transducer, the heating element is usually located more toward the top of the tank.

If my husband were still alive, he would be enjoying these videos with me. I used to work in the garage with him, I even tore apart a V6 engine from a 63 Buick special station wagon( I wouldn’t want to have to assemble one) had my own set of Proto wrenches too 1/4” drive...those were the days😇 .

    Hey so I use Ultrasonics cleaners for work (med device reprocessing) your old one might have corroded because of the grate you put In the bottom of the basket. You want to avoid putting dissimilar metals into them at the same time as the cavitation will actually transfer playing and other components of the metal to the dissimilar metal and will damage the metal. You can use tap water that’s fine I would use low foaming soap as that will help strengthen the cavitation as the foam can weaken the cavitation action.

    I watched Steve's Small Engine Saloon's video just before yours. As Knighthawk's Mowers points out, Steve uses plastic jars with the solution and parts in it and only water in the tank to save money. He even uses gasoline sometimes. That way, you save on solvent and don't have to constantly clean the tank on the machine. The only reason he doesn't use glass jars is because the break bouncing off his hard floor, but you could use them if you use a solvent that attacks plastic. I enjoy all of your videos, you know your business and you share alternative methods for people who don't own the fancy tools. Thank you.

    Instead of sand blasting the corrosion try soda blasting. That fine sand gets everywhere and is quite difficult to remove from the throttle and choke shafts where they pass through the carb. Baking soda easily dissolves though in a warm water rinse. I bought an inexpensive hand held blaster (looks like a paint spray gun) and keep it just to soda blast. There's your dinner.

    Another tip for the longevity of your ultrasonic cleaner, don't drain it while it's hot, let it cool all the way down, cause if you drain it while it's hot, you will damage the heating element, another tip hook up a clear hose to the drain valve, and in line use a paper element fuel filter, that way it filters out the crap and you get clean solution that you can use over and over again, clean out your ultrasonic cleaner once a month, it will make your ultrasonic cleaner last for years.

  • @ronaldeisel5927
    @ronaldeisel5927 4 года назад +3

    Hey Taryl the instructions probably don't tell you but you should run the unit at the "full" line which maybe marked on the tank. The reason for this is to create a "standing wave" in the liquid which transfers the power from the transducer more efficiently. The best chemical (detergent) to use is Alconox (liquid or powder) which is an industry standard. And you can use the solution over and over with no problem just may need to filter the "crud" out of the solution from time to time. A quick test to determine if the power from the transducer is getting to your parts is to look for a standing wave on the surface of the liquid ~ you can even hang a smooth piece of Al foil in the tank and if everything is working correctly it will get holes in it from the energy.

  • @magnum164

    For all of those saying to simply use tap water, I did a LOT of research into this when setting up my CNC machine. The reason you use Distilled Water is to reduce the amount of algae and other contaminants that can build and make your system stink. If you are using it and cleaning it every few days, a lot of these solutions are fine. But my CNC machine sat and collected oil and other contaminates, I had to make sure I used distilled water or the whole house stunk. Also, if I did not use the machine for a few days I would turn the pumps on every couple of days and agitate the fluid to prevent algae build up.

    Even plain old tap water with just a dash of any soap works fine. The less suds the soap makes, the better it will perform in an ultrasonic cleaner. The soap (surfactant) is mainly used to break the surface tension of the water, reducing air pockets and getting all the interior surfaces wet with minimal bubbles. Air acts as an insulator, so any surface that is not in direct contact with the liquid will not be cleaned by the sound waves.
    Also, as many others have mentioned, be sure to fill the tank to its full capacity, as the transducers are matched to a full load in the same way transmitting antennas are. This will minimize standing waves, which actually reduce performance and could cause the transducers and heating elements to fail prematurely.
    I use pre-heated tap water with just a dash of degreaser. I place the parts in (machine turned off) and rotate them under the solution to get as much of the trapped air out as I can. If the part has many air bubbles sticking to it I will usually brush them off under the water; sometimes powering the machine on and off suddenly will dislodge them from the part and they will rise to the surface on their own. If you leave them there they will just dance on the surface of the parts.
    For really dirty parts I will place the parts in a glass container with any solvent and put that in the full machine. It works really well and you don't contaminate your machine. Just *do not* use the heating function if you use any flammable or combustible solvents.

    Use of distilled water is suggested because they are sold all over the world and have no idea how their tap water is. Water with high calcium, and magnesium will accumulate during cleaning reducing transmission of the ultrasonic waves which reduces the Cleaning efficiency and also if you have hard water it'll cause scaling which reduces the effectiveness of the cleaning because it's insulating the transducers.

Water solution dissolves soda unlike the glass beads or sand if caught in any passages. Great videos! Thank you.

    Couple things. I've been using an ultrasonic cleaner, much like the one pictured, for a couple years. I use straight GUNK, I have a 10 liter, it takes 2 big cans. The liquid will remain useful for about 50 carbs before I change it, more if you hit them with a quick cleaning with brake parts cleaner before putting them in.
    First thing is you're not supposed to run the cleaner with just minimum liquid in it, it will damage the unit. Should be to the fill line.
    Second, I disassemble the carbs down to the core casting, and spray them down with brake cleaner before they go in the tank. My goal is to clean up the varnish in the small parts of the carb you can't get from the outside. I cook them for about a 1/2 hour. I put the jets and other small parts in a basket, and the carb body on the provided basket
    There are some carbs that just don't benefit as much from a ultra sonic cleaner, some of the older Briggs and Tecumseh with plastic jets. Ones where you can't remove the jets.

    If a good carburetor cleaner (degreaser) is used, there is no need to use harsh chemicals like Berryman's. Ultrasonic cleaners help you avoid using harsh chemicals. Cleaning solutions are gentle and environmentally friendly since cavitation, not chemical reactions, do the work. Also fill up that tank! That may be why your other ultrasonic cleaner failed. My smaller cleaner is the 3 liter version of what you had and is 12 years old and still working well.

    Soaking overnight in standard white vinegar (straight or 2:1 water) will dissolve limescale. Stubborn bits will usually come of with light toothbrush scrub and a second soak. Also removes rust from steel parts.
    Good alternative to blasting since it can leave pitting in the surfaces which can lead to faster gumming up. It's also sometimes a pain to get 100% off the grit out of small orifices.

  • @ifitaintbroke7427
    @ifitaintbroke7427 3 года назад +1

    Yes the water or cleaner will heat up faster with the unit turned on for the ultrasonic. The reason is because of cavitation. That's also the reason those things work to begin with. Cavitation is when small bubbles form at some irregular area in the liquid and a explosion happens very small and very fast which creates heat and "cleans" whatever object you place in the ultrasonic cleaner. It's a pretty cool thing to learn about.

    Hi Taryl, I wonder I missed your great video, but concerning the special ultrasonic cleaner solutions, there is always a note that the best temperature of the liquid is about 40-45°C. The more temp. above, the less effect it has. Maybe 70°C was too much. Greetings from Czech Rep.

  • @tonyfremont

    Simple green and vinegar even takes rust off. Doesn't seem to hurt aluminum or brass. You might want to try baking soda, instead of sand, for blasting. It won't get permanently stuck anywhere since it will completely dissolve in the ultrasound. Might take a little longer, but won't wear away the metal.

      I get about 50 carbs out of gunk. My US cleaner is 10 liter. I spray down the carb with a quick cleaning with brake parts cleaner before putting them in. The goal is to remove the varnish and clean internally. The brake cleaner extends the life of the fluid.

    Just a tip Taryl,
    If you put water in the ultrasonic and put your parts in a ziplock with whatever cleaner and water then pop the bag into the water in the ultrasonic. The vibrations pass right through the bag and clean it in the bag. Clean up is a snap just toss out the bag and mess afterward. it also keeps your parts together not lost in the bottom of the ultrasonic..

    Also, fill the cleaner about 3/4 full of water and put the carb into another container with a lid. Fill that container with gas and cap it. Put that into the water and turn it on. That really does wonders too. However, gas boiling point is way lower than water so keep an eye on it and pull it when it starts to boil. Cool it down and dunk it again.
