Cleaning a carburetor in an ultrasonic cleaner what household solution to use
Permalink  
 


I'm going to be using my first ultrasonic cleaner soon but I need some help on common cleaning solutions to use found around the house, its a 30L so it takes a lot of solution especially if I buy it pre mixed instead of a concentrated solution, I've been reading up what to use and the MSDS (manufacturer safety data sheets) of all the soaps I got in the kitchen and a bottle of car wash I have but they contain chemicals that are not good with carburetors, I don't have a pH meter so I'm not sure about how much dish soap I could use if it has an alkaline base or caustic base, I know not to use a Lye base (NaOH) or know as sodium hydroxide and there are many more not to use bases but some of the chemicals in America like Pine Sol or Dawn dish soap are not available here in Australia, in my kitchen I have Morning Fresh I guess it could be used I can do a test with a sheet of aluminum foil to see if it eats it away. I have also read to first use a can of degreaser on the caby and wait till it dries then use it in the ultrasonic cleaner with dish soap is this a good way to do it? One last chemical I read about that's safe on carbys is D-Limonene a natural solvent made from citrus fruits but it might not be safe with plastics.

Has anyone found the manufacturing safety data sheet for the Bowden's Own Orange Agent Cleaner: www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/bowdens-own-bowdens-own-orange-agent-cleaner-770ml/588683.html it says its pH neutral and is citrus based that doesnt leave a white residue on engine parts and is safe on alloys
