Re: {Chrysler 300} Ultrasonic Cleaners

James,

Does your method with vinegar in the ultrasonic cleaner loosen up frozen throttle shafts and seized screws? I've tried weeks of soaking in WD40, Kroil and 50/50 acetone/ATF to no avail.

Presently, Harbor Freight has such a cleaner with a 11" x 5.75" x 5.75" reservoir with good reviews.

Thanks.

I've been using one sourced from e-bay, for about 4 years now for carburetor rebuilds with excellent results. I still manually remove all the caked-on crud beforehand, and spray & blow all orifices with carb cleaner afterward. I use cheap cleaning vinager as an agent. I have soaked completely rusted up metal pieces in the vinegar bath for a few days, then run the machine for a couple of cycles to have the parts come out with clean metal. Get a machine with as big a vat as you can. If you're doing old style pot metal carbs with the bronze coating such as a Stromberg 97, don't let them in there too long, or use a milder cleaning agent.

Im looking at purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner. Does any have experience with them? I recently acquired a 300 J that has been sitting for about 11 years. I was thinking of taking an initial pass of cleaning the 3505 carbs with an ultrasonic cleaner.

Does anyone have experience with using them to clean carbs?

Thanks
