Tooth paste, still in the tube.4x the cleaning power of what?

What do you recommend that is cheap and effective? Spraying down with carb cleaner and compressed air?Tooth paste, still in the tube.
Pine-Sol will work but its far too slow for any serious work. It smells good and for indoor , basement or kitchen table mechanics it won`t get you banned to the dog house.
I am going to look into one of those machines. I do have several carbs lined up from rebuilds. What liquids do you put in it?I am not sure how many carbs you are thinking of doing but for me, I bought an ultrasonic cleaner,USC, and its been the best bang for the buck of any tool I ever got for chainsaw work. It cleans a carb much better than any other. For just a quick cleaning then canned spray carb cleaner would do better than most anything, for soaking then a cleaner like, Gunk or other bulk solvent would do. I have gallons of it that I recycle over and over.
All I use is boiling hot water with a drop of Dawn dish soap, all the soap does is make cleaning the USC easier. Its not the product that does the cleaning, its the sound waves from the USC transferred by the water to the carb, the thinner the liquid the better job it does getting under the deposits. The carb body and small parts literally dance around in the USC tub, if you watch closely discolored streams of dislodged material can be seen flowing out from every orifice of the carb body. Reading up on how the USC works will help with making a decision on what works best in them.I am going to look into one of those machines. I do have several carbs lined up from rebuilds.

I got an ultrasonic cleaner last Fall to clean my bike chain. Worked great! but started cleaning carbs from my 034 saws that weren't working right... decided if you weren't using US cleaner on your chainsaw carbs that you thought you were rebuilding, you weren't rebuilding.I ordered an ultrasonic cleaner off Amazon that has heat option. Figured it would be good to clean other stuff too
Mine is 2.5 liters. So far something too big I flip it over and start another cycleIt's amazing all the things you can toss in to clean. My biggest disappointment is I got a relatively small unit.
Dawn dish good for carbs with warm water in the sonic cleaner?The ultrA

there are tiny orifices in those things that fill with years of ethanol gas deposits and baked on varnish that just changing a couple of gaskets and reed valve gaskets, and pump pieces are a waste of money. Clean that carb for a couple of minutes with some detergent of your choice and you'll thank your $50 purchase. next stop your wife's rings and so on. Also bike chains.
I have a half gallon unit currently. If were going liters then it's close to 2L. I really would liked something in the 6L+ range. I got too spoiled had a big one at work for so many years I could use.Mine is 2.5 liters. So far something too big I flip it over and start another cycle
