ltrasonic cleaning of my Zenith Carb

I found a gallon of denatured alcohol and decided to do a final cleaning of the carb with my ultrasonic cleaner. I chose not to use the heater option .We will give her a couple of hours CM

Haven't heard about anyone using ethanol (denatured or not) in an ultrasonic. Let us know how it works! I think most are using dish soap etc.

Since I am replacing all the seals anyway ,denatured alcohol is my weapon of choice. Rubber seals and denatured alcohol don't mix. As I stated earlier, the heater switch remains off. I do want to see my 64th birthday in December! just sayin. CM

If you want to see your next birthday you might consider not smoking around that alcohol also! I couldn't help but notice the cig. in your mouth.

Good catch shame on me CM

Mineral spirits and naphtha would be less flammable for your ultrasonic cleaner. Mix it 75% mineral spirit and 25% naphtha.

If you want to continue using denatured alcohol you should put the ultrasonic cleaner out on the driveway. It's not a matter of if it will catch fire, but when it will catch fire.

Geeese Chuck, you just need to do a few more barley pop runs to the 711 with the 511 and it will run great. HeHe
