The USC will remove stuff from inside carb passages that no amount of soaking in cleaners can do. Just watch the tiny ports when the USC first starts up on a newly soaked carb, there is a cloudy flow of something flowing out of every passage.
There have been lots of threads on Ultrasonic Cleaners (USC) here on A.S., but hard to find with the Search function. Was able to dig these up, where a lot of guys talk about the cleaning solutions they use, tips, etc.:

Don't use regular Simple Green on aluminum though, it will damage it. The extreme Simple Green is made for aluminum.Never used it in and ultrasonic cleaner...but Simple Green is a great cleaner. When hand saws are full of pine sap, I'll spray them and leave them in the sink and spray them once more amd it just wipes off.
ZEP (and others) make a variety of purple cleaners: some contain sodium hydroxide (lye). Some don't (have to read the labels carefully).Same thing Lostone said with a product made by ZEP. Its there purple strength cleaner. It will also etch aluminum.
Good to know...thanks! Does Mean Green do as good of a job cleaning other stuff as Simple Green does? I'm about due for more (I buy a gallon about every year and use about 1:5 in a spray bottle mixed with water). Will either get Mean Green or Extreme if they are still good cleaners. I've never seen it damage Al, but not sure I've soaked anything in it either. Better safe than sorry even if it is a few extra bucks.Don't use regular Simple Green on aluminum though, it will damage it. The extreme Simple Green is made for aluminum.
They do and much bigger.......big 'nuff to put a road tractor radiator in!! Think Western star or Peterbuilt.....That’s a thought for sure! Do they come as large as 500 litres so as one could bathe?
I use Mean Green Super Strength. https://www.homehardware.ca/en/378l-super-strength-cleaner-and-degreaser/p/4523466Good to know...thanks!

I've thought about getting an ultrasonic cleaner before - this thread might inspire me to do so. That HF one seems like a good deal for as relatively little as I'd use it.
