Gday fellas,im looking at getting an ultrasonic cleaner,i think id need about a 6 litre capacity i want it to fit a 4 barrel carb body in at least,anyone had one of those cheaper versions on ebay,i know to steer clear of the real cheapo plastic type im looking at stainless type.

I opted for the 30L version so I could do a whole rack of for carbs:

While I haven't done a rack of carbs yet, I have done three cylinder heads for my 3.8L V6 Mustangs along with countless other parts. I currently have a set of CB750 cylinders soaking now, fully submerged. CB750 head to follow.

Terry has one he has been using and I think he liked it. Might want to get with him and see what a fellow countryman came up with.

Hey Dave, I had a look at that from your link you put on here. Something I'd like. That electrical cord? How do you plug it in ?

dave500 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 05, 2020, 01:13:48 AM »

i guess its like any 3 pin connector that goes into say a computer,then has a wall plug the other end?

ken65 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 05, 2020, 03:12:28 AM »

ok, ,problem is , the end that plugs into a wall socket wont fit any plug ive ever seen in queensland.
According to the pictures in the ebay advertisement at least.

might be like the stereo amp i bought, it still runs on 240V but it should come with an adapter socket that will plug into an aussie power point and the power cord will plug into that , and like Dave says the end that goes into the appliance is the same as a desktop computer so you could probably just get one of those cords to do away with an adapter

either way, message the seller and ask them what the set up is

LOL! I'm hoping I can fit a rack of GL1200 carbs in there which was my primary goal. Gotta finish the 750's first!

simon#42 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 05, 2020, 10:38:40 AM »

get the biggest one you can dave . i bought a 10L one but it was frustrating trying to clean something that was just to big to fit . now have a 37L monster that can take a goldwing crankcase ..... sorted!

dave500 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2020, 12:44:38 PM »

bloody hell 37 litres?might go 15 litres?yeah the lead will be correct for australia,they probably just use a generic photo with an overseas lead?for example our normal house hold power is 240 volts,overseas might be 110?so the machines are prepped and packaged for the destination country,thanks fellas.

30 or 37 L ultrasonic cleaners are going to cost you a good amount to refill with many cleaners that are popular...
But, as has been said...too small are frustrating when something is a little too small.
Simon likely still has his 10L one, giving him options. Buying two would get costly. I have the large Harbor Freight and it works, just barely...would Not recommend it.

Don't let the 1200 carbs scare you,tear em all the way down and dip em in your cleaner.you can fit 2 bodies in a 6l cleaner.I just did mine and if I can do it,anyone can do it

I'm pretty well versed with the later model 750 PD carbs so nothing scares me anymore!

I figure there are rubber bits (i.e. O-rings) in the GL1200 carbs that will likely require separation of the racks, but I am glad I opted for the larger capacity. I started with the 2.5L Harbor Freight cleaner and was pleased with the results but 2.5L often came up short though, so I figured I was only going to do this one more time.

I've rebuilt the carbs on my GL1100 and also the carbs on a friends GL1200 and I can tell you the 1200 carbs are easy compared to the 1100 carbs.

Glad I single carbed my 1100

I had to on mine because my ultrasonic cleaner is only big enough for one carb at a time

I agree. I have the 30 liter and it's great for carbs and cylinder heads. I use this product with water.....doesn't hurt aluminum. https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Aircraft-Precision-Cleaner-13406/dp/B001VXU7OE/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-drs1_0?cv_ct_cx=aircraft+simple+green&dchild=1&keywords=aircraft+simple+green&pd_rd_i=B001VXU7OE&pd_rd_r=60de2252-e7a4-4d44-94d9-0fe46f1d8352&pd_rd_w=WgwW5&pd_rd_wg=AnMyp&pf_rd_p=ecbfa24d-f48c-4d5c-83aa-9549f4e7c925&pf_rd_r=AW6A2X13W0AX4N5BQBV5&psc=1&qid=1602356149&sr=1-1-f6b8d51f-2c55-4dc3-89ad-0c3639671b2d

Thanks mike ill look into that.

simon#42 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 11, 2020, 01:50:20 AM »

i will give that a go as well mike , so far it is looking expensive over here but will keep looking!

dave500 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:25:05 AM »

i pulled the trigger on the 10 litre,was 289 and said or best offer,so i offered 270-rejected,then 275-rejected,then 280-rejected and 285-rejected,i thought why the #$%* have the offer option then?anyway after a week it was 278,then it went to 263 so i bought it,what a #$%* around?once its here ill post how good it works,im only gonna use mild dish soaps with it and pre heat the water.

PeWe · « **Reply #24 on:** October 18, 2020, 12:58:21 AM »

I have a 30L too. Complete carb rack, CB750 head no problem.
BUT, another smaller cleaner needed too for smaller things like one carb or the inner parts of all 4 or similar size.
