 Carburetors are best cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner.  Carburetors usually get gummed with a gas varnish, or shellac, that is very difficult to clean with a brush as varnish accumulates in tiny orifices that are impossible to reach. Fuel goes bad very quickly.  If left over a period of time gasoline, oil and ethanol will start separating from one another in the gas tank, fuel lines and carburetor.  An ultrasonic cleaner is used by adding a cleaning solution in its tank and placing the components to be cleaned in the solution.  The ultrasonic cleaner can clean by generating ultrasonic waves into the cleaning solution; the waves generated separate the cleaning solution’s molecules apart causing vacuum “cavities”.  These cavities then implode causing “de-cavitations” of ultra-high energy spots of 5000 degrees C.  These de-cavitations act as microscopic scrubbers that clean effectively.  Carburetors have lots of inaccessible areas that you just can't see to clean.  The ultrasonic action cleans these hard-to-reach areas as well as exposed surfaces.  Because ultrasonic cleaning action only removes oil, carbon, varnish and other built-up dirt, O-rings, seals and plastic can be left in place. High end ultrasonic machines also incorporate a heating element that furthers the efficiency of ultrasonic cleaning.  The solution we use is an alkaline chemical mixed with water.  Alkaline is the opposite of an Acid.  Acidic solutions won’t work in this case as acid and oil don’t mix.  The alkaline solution reacts with oil and turns it into soap which helps it to clean itself!  Our ultrasonic cleaner is also heated and cleans at 40,000 hz, the strongest ultrasonic carburetor cleaner available.  Can you think of a more efficient way to clean carbs?  We can't either!
