Ultrasonice cleaners....what one to get?

[faber]

What I've found (and you'll see this in the manual for your ultrasonic cleaner) is they highly recommend NOT putting anything "soft" in it.

The caviation effects will cause problems if there are any cracks in the plastics (espcially older plastics) and the chemicals and heat will deteriorate rubber, which then allows the cavitation affects to do even more damage.

Of course you can put anything you want into these things, however rubbers, soft plastics, even some hard bakelite plastics commonly used on older motorcycles (as it's fuel safe) will be completely destroyed.

Actually before buying my ultrasonic I did alot of reading on boiling and ultrasonics and found some interesting information.

The term boiling (from what I found) was used for just using carb cleaner and dipping your carbs.

The term seems to have been taken more literally and people began actually boiling their carbs.
