Had a buddy come over tonight to sonic blast his VMAX carbs from a bike that was sitting for a long time - you can imagine what we found but not as bad as I expected.

WFS what a complicated carb setup. Linkages up the ass, hoses everywhere etc. Anyway we got them broken down and into the Harbor Freight ultrasonic (my second use) and it did a good job for a HF gizmo. You could smell the varnished gas smell coming out and the discolored water solution.

Not sure if this will solve his carb problems but the point is a good start on something that's been sitting with gummy stuff in the passages. We'll see.

If you're not familiar with these HF sonic cleaners they do have a design flaw. Apparently the gasket between the tub and top plastic can let moisture in and ruin the motherboard on the bottom (thank you youtube). The fix is to run a bead of silicone around the lip and don't overfill it. Eighty bucks, so far I like it.

BTW I cooked up some chile rellenos for dinner and my neighbors came up for them too. Good times!!!!

I use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean many types of parts, works well when applied properly, and is absolutely excellent for cooking chicken hot wings.

That's probably my favorite food the Mexican type, and one I use to judge a restaurant.

Same here Jim - and I'm always disappointed compared to mine. My neighbor Dave who's also a major Chile fan said these were the best he's ever had. It's a lot of effort to make them and absolutely destroys the kitchen but worth the effort a few times a year.

Are we talking about an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner - or something else?

Sound like a very versatile machine from cleaning carbs to cooking delicious Mexican food and tasty chicken wing snacks .....leave it to harbor freight to come up with something like that!

Just about anything Mike.
