And does yur wife ask you how you keep your nails so clean now.!!! Lolz
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!
I was going to suggest both of those things you said 👍
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.
Been watching you for a while. Went from not being able to change a mower blade all the way to doing engine swaps and just bought an ultrasonic cleaner. Thanks 😊
I learned on Steve's small engine saloon, I use large mouths plastic bottles with the cleaning solution in it, and just regular water in the tank of the ultrasonic cleaner, that way you can keep the tank cleaner, and as a tip, the distilled white vinegar will eat threw the white scale, no problem.
good idea on vinegar , i flush my heat exchanger on my heated floor each fall with it , plumber charged me $500.00 once to do it , ( I watched )
Keen eye saves $ thanks
I appreciate this comparison/test video Taryl...Thanks! Ps: Camera Man and Sound Effects Man do an outstanding job!
Learning alot from you Taryl! Your my go to for repairing engines. Thankyou!
Taryl, you are bat sh*t crazy, and I absolutely love you for it. Can't get enough of your content!
I like your new ultra-sonic-cleaner Tayrl,very nice!.Now,I will say this,I have worked with a very large version of this machine.
It was a floor standing model that held about 25 gallons of cleaner and ran on 240 volts.
It was used for cleaning band instrument parts back when I used to do machining and cold extrusion work for the band instrument industry a very long time ago.
Since time is money,(especially for your shop)put the distilled water and Dawn dish soap mixture in a microwave oven for about 3-5 minutes,then dump this into the sonic machine,it will be up to temp.alot faster then waiting for the sonic machine to do it.(just a thought)
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.
Dactyl, you are the man with a Ultra cleaner. Job well done fella.
A 1 to 1 mix of distilled water and white vinegar will remove grease, scale and rust. Add 10 drops of dish soap per gallon, this acts as a surfactant, allowing better contact and penetration. Line the bottom of the part holder with stainless steel screen. Cheers
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.
most of the ultrasonic cleaners say to fill the unit to just covering the basket to avoid damage to the transducers as well as to get the unit to operate at its full power and efficiency, good to know what cleaners work the best in these units, thank you for doing this test for us Taryl, great video and great review
I've been watching your older videos and i've been using dish soap from dollar tree and it works great in my ultrasonic cleaner
put your smaller parts in a glass jar with the good cleaner solution, fill the tank with regular tap water, put the jar in the tank. Saves having to change out a tank full of good cleaner. Now there's your dinner :-)
Must have been a heat wave in Podunk recently.
You been watching steve,s small engine saloon
Waves does not go through glass well... a plastic zip lock bag is the trick.
@@larryshaw5297 I use small glass paint containers for my small fishing reel parts and bearings and it works a treat and quickly. When cleaning bearings I use white gas and only submerge the container to where the water like matches the gas line on the container. The bearings clean up within a couple minutes.
@@larryshaw5297 actually the glass is better than plastic.
I just got one & I’ve ran some nasty carbs through it & I was amazed at the results. Should have got one years back.
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.
Taryl I look forward to your videos. I really wish you and Junior and Slippers would make them more often. I can always count on learning something and getting very entertained!!! I hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas

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.
looks like a nice set -up ya got there taryl
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. Thanks for the video.
My go to for carbs or most anything nasty is soda blast in my trinco cabinet which takes about 3 to 5 minutes then in my 15L ultrasonic cleaner full of hot tap water that was degassed with 1/2 cup Dawn set for 30 minutes at 60 Celsius (140 F). All liquids degass enough after the first 30 minutes with nothing to be cleaned in the tank or about 5 minutes if using the old liquid if still usable and clean enough. If I use other chemicals with smaller parts I put them and the solution in a glass jar and use the water/soap or just water in the tank. Water solution dissolves soda unlike the glass beads or sand if caught in any passages. Great videos! Thank you.
I love your channel
You always make me laugh.
hi brother hows it going. yeah i use dish soap in all my cleaners. it does the job with a little help with the air compressor. great video as always mate
Pre-heat the water/solution prior to starting the ultrasonic machine. You should even try the CLR product for the carbitrators with lots of water/scale build-up. Let us know how this works out.
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.
If it were me I would use Kurd Kutter cleaner degreaser and what a difference. Tarly as always you crack me up. Excellent demo on the ultra sonic machine. Thank you, great video.
Purple Power and I have parted ways too. Once my go to cleaner, its affect on aluminum and the toxic effects of accidentally breathing in the mist have caused me to shy away from that cleaner.
One tip I saw on Zippo Varga’s channel some time ago was to use a small tea steeping basket for parts like jets and such. Been working great for me to keep those smalls together and out of the bottom of that machine.
I use a stainless sink drain with a flat bottom I got off of Amazon. Same purpose
I use the little strainers from walsmart with a bolt, and nut attacking the one end, and a bread tie for the other.
@@knighthawk86855 Jewellers use high grade very expensive Ultrasonic cleaners, i wonder what chemicals they might use? even though rings and chains don't match the scuzzicity of Carby's.
@@caratcranker5874 the cleaners are expensive for jewelry because many of the precious stones will actually discolor. Their machines are different too. Some of the precious stones are actually fragile. Everything is not diamond tough. Emeralds are actually quite brittle .
That is great idea! they have those at the Dollar store too, will get one when i buy the cheap dishwashing liquid
great video as usual !!
I use carb cleaner and the parts come out great.
Hey taryl I just add a few ounces of CLR to my dish soap solution no scale on any parts love your videos thanks
Thank you Taryl for this video. I am about to pick up one of these cleaners myself. Cinched it for me, def need to have this rather than not. Encounter a lot of varnished carbs!
Hey for the next video, you should do a Honda 4514 Timing belt replace. I got one in the bay now and can use some advice! This thing ain't easy to work on!
i used to work with a husqavarna dealer and we use to use consentrate cleaner like u have. but i found a 50\50 mix of purple power and water works best. also good at taking the brake dust of of rims.
I really learn great stuff watching ur vids.I saved a bunch of money n time when you showed us viewers bout Briggs twin cylinder coil kill wire removal.mine had a bad wire do hicky diod thing , I wired up a new kill switch I had in my garage.thanks again love ur videos.ps my name is Bill n I am on my wife's computer site.
Love your new chili crockpot!!!
Hi Taryl, I have found that straight (non diluted) green antifreeze works amazing on brass and aluminum parts in my ultrasonic
Nice one bud . I have to get one of them fancy machines. 👍
I use a little immersion heater to help speed heating mine up. I also like to use small glass jars to hold parts. I can just put a small amount of cleaner in the jar in the with the parts and then just fill the cleaner with water.
I enjoy your videos! Being as you’re doing a comparison of these cleaners, don’t you have to use distilled water for each one of them? I’m really not being critical, I think you are brilliant. 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😇 . Keep up the good work! The way you explain things makes me think of my husband! He painted cars too! Merry Christmas!
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.
i want a full version of the famos "ultrasonic cleaner" song - because the teaser sounds great !!!
Tks Taryl good to know
Just a heads up Taryl if you add CLR = Calcium Lime Rust remover to the soap base cleaners it will remove the scale and varnish
Nice never thought of that.. I use purple power.. Cheap castrol super clean
I go around the house in my best Taryl Dactal voice and say, (Taryl Dactal here) drives the wife and kid crazy, I love it. Work on many Cushman Tracksters? Enjoy your videos, has helped me out! Rod from Utah said that.
Thank you Taryl for a great video. Make sure to fill the liquid up to the fill line of the tank or it will damage the machine over time. Also you can put parts in plastic containers or freezer bags with the soap in it. And fill the tank up with distilled water.
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.
You need one like Mustie1’s.
Crazy how he uses his Taryl Mug for checking gas, I used to drink coffee out of mine until the handles cracked on the bottom.
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.
Thanks Taryl. I got one for Xmas a harbor freight job just for carbs mostly. Hopefully will do a good job inside them more than worrying over out side lol. Will be using dish soap on her maiden run. Thanks again.
It works best when full but I recommend you fill the unit with water and use a container of solution to put the parts in, a medium or large plastic bag works best for me then set it in the unit
Simple Green Extreme Aircraft solution works very well for all parts. Its concentrate on amazon under $20 works great. Also best if you keep your fluid level an inch from the top. Hard on the transducers if it runs lower. Also best to keep basket or anything else off the bottom of the unit. The branson and crest brand that we have suspend the basket on the top edges of the rim.
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.
Vinegar and Dawn mixed with water is what i use. I found it helps with some of that scaling and is good for breaking loose those stuck throttles and choke levers.
Other videos I've seen recommend that an untrasonic cleaner only be run with the reservoir full. It supposedly makes it last longer but if the transducer is just in the bottom I don't see how.
I love you brother Taryl, but that was not my favorite entree. But it's always great to see you! :-)
@Taryl Fixes All Try using CLR and dishsoap it works great
I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS THERE ARE HELPFUL I WOULD APPRECIATE THE MODEL# ON YOUR ULTRASONIC CLEANER and where did you purchase it from
so it's been awhile and how is the cleaner working now? what solution do you stick with? great video
Taryl. Nu Calgon makes evaporator and condenser coil cleaners for air conditioners that might work good in your ultrasonic cleaner. It's a fairly aggressive cleaner but they have added some stuff to protect the aluminum in the AC coils from corrosion.
Nice edit job on this one
Thanks Taryl cheaper is better that way if won't cut into profits love your videos keep them coming there's your dinner
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.
I just watched a video where a guy just hooked up a sander to a jar hung it from a string no heat for an hour and ten minute. He put several parts in and used CLR water solution. It did an awesome job of cleaning the parts. The CLR really did a job on that scale build up you said nothing would remove but brushing.. I’m waiting for your next update after reading this comment... try it you’ll like it!
I have tried them all and good ole Pine-Sol & water I get the best results from.
very good instructional video though 👍
I have a 3 qt ultrasonic cleaner. I've found that Dawn dish soap and a splash of white vinegar does wonders on those carbs. Try it out and see. There's a big difference between water and soap compared to water, dawn, and vinegar.
Great video sir. Thanks for the dinner.
It heats up faster with the fluid in motion due to the liquid molecules moving around quickly. If you put liquid on ice and shake it in a sealed container in about 20 seconds it will be cold as ice. Try it.
also I don't recommend putting the old style brass floats in the ultrasonic cleaner , cause its been known that the sound waves can break/crack the solder joints that seal the float and then they start leaking
Yep been there
thanks for that
i use one o' them gallon pails o' berryman carb cleaner to soak them in. see how that stuff works. it does a heck of a job by it's self.
Lowe’s has 1 gallon Simple Green for $7.09... just bought 10. Great deal!
I use Simple Green Extreme. It is formulated for use on aircraft (safe on aluminum). It is a little more expensive, but you dilute it and a gallon goes a long way!
oderless paint thinner works great too!!!!
Thanks Taryl.
GUNK has a parts cleaner too, it comes in a gallon can with its own basket. Search for it on the interscreen.
Great Video I was wanting to buy one. But Taryl what about Purple Power? I love that stuff for degreasing.
Very nice experiment. Love your channel. I had wonderful results with pine sol.
Vinegar or CLR in the cleaner will get the lime scale off. It will need to soak overnight before ultra cleaning. The reason for the distilled water is that the minerals have been removed. The lime scale is the result of the minerals in the water so you don't want to add to it.
a lot of ultrasonic cleaners fail from too much long term heat..as in the liquid is ran dry. nice video dawn is a ducky cleaner. :)
Does your manual say to fill the container to the full position to avoid damaging the unit. Mine does, apparently the transducers can be damaged by low water in the tank. Not sure if yours is affected the same way.
Yes your right
worked as a dishwasher for a year, i was also the service guy for the machine because nobody knew much about it, i took the liberty of reading manuals and talking to dishwasher manufacturers, because the repair guy charged 300$ just to drive to the restaurant. stories aside, we used a lime de-scaler every 2 weeks in the machine because it had a 40 gallon wash water tank that was full almost all day with all sorts of foodstuffs. its a product from Sunburst Chemicals (restaurant chemical supply company) called Lime-Out, and let me tell you, if there was any sort of buildup on any surface in the restaurant, whether it be mold, lime deposits, caked on chocolate on cookie sheets, it came off with just a few wipes of a wash towel. id love to try and find some and use it in a ultrasonic machine especially for carbs. the only thing i know it removes for sure is cheap metal plating (like on silverware, when someone from another branch accidentially dropped some in a bucket of the solute.) i dont know what affect it has on aluminum but id sure like to see
this stuff also shines stainless steel, something in the powder removes oxidation i think, and i know it doesnt degrade stainless because that machine was almost 15 years old and it had been de limed every 2 weeks since it was new
I have just used plain water and it has worked great. u should try that for a comparison
Hey is that thing big enough for a Quadrajet or a Holley 4bbl? Looks like it!
Great video
Just give this man a thumbs up.....
I used pinesol the other day because i was hard up. Worked better than simple green! I was suprised! I mixed it STRONG though!
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..
Haha anyone else get a dawn detergent advertisement right after Taryl said "I would just use the cheapest dish soap"?
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.
I use Simple green, CLR (calcium Lime Rust) and TSP (tri sodium phospahe) TSP is in powder form at hardware and paint stores, and Clean-Rite Purple Power 4120P Aluminum Brightener. This combination cleans, removes calcification and brightens aluminum.
It would help a lot if you would state the amounts of those various components. Ratios. Anything! 👍
Hey, Taryl. Start out with hot water from the tap when you can. A real time saver.
Except that the dissolved minerals in tap water can really change how ultrasonic cleaners function, which is why the recommend using distilled water. He may just want to pre-heat the distilled water on the stove, instead of hot tap water.
@@OriginalLictre That works. :)
@@OriginalLictre Other than the extent to which the cleaning agent can mix with the water, I can't see how distilled vs regular tap water makes any difference. The ultrasonic action is just a mechanical action (tiny bubbles or agitation bombarding the items) which would be the same regardless of the type of water used.
i use the dish soap and water method but in a mason jar and my ultra sonic parts washer full of windshield washer fluid so it wont freeze cause unfortunately my garage isnt heated and i live up here in the great white north of canada
I use lemon pine sol. I do a lot of weedwhacker carbs. Its super cheap, works good and smells nice. lol
I’ve heard (don’t know if it’s true) that you want to avoid having the basket or parts in contact with the tub where the transducer is- or it can cause a hole in the tub and/or unbond the transducer from the other side of the tub... if the tub has legs, or suspends it’s self from the top, there may be a reason.
Lemi-Shine and Dawn together are the go-to for wet tumbling brass, though don’t use more than a pinch of Lemi-Shine. Citric Acid...
good idea with the float on backwards. because, um floats float. you done need to worry about flipping it halfway through. share that tip with mustie1 13:10 splish, splash carb was taking a bath
How well does the Ultrasonic cleaner work with just water and no cleaner?
I use my baking soda blaster to clean up rust and corrosion after the ultrasonic cleaner. Baking soda will clean without damaging the base metal. And Baking soda will dissolve in water, so nothing left behind. Also, regular Simple Green can discolor some carb bodies. In particular with 2 cycle carbs. I believe it depends on how much zinc is alloyed with the aluminum. Simple Green HD won’t do that, so that’s what I use in mine.
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.
