I've got 2 pairs of carbs here which need a good clean. I've had a search locally and cant find a lot apart from ebay which is telling me £50 for 2 carbs. Seems a lot to me when i could buy an ultrasonic cleaner for £40 and do it myself.

Does anyone have any advise? Am i looking at the wrong thing?

Educate me please.

Funnily enough we were talking about this at the show on the weekend. I got a quote off a guy for £25 per carb which included dismantling & reassembly afterwards. Worth buying the kit if you - and a mate perhaps?s - have several carbs etc to clean.

Have you or a friend got an air compressor? http://www.aircooledtech.com/tools-on-the-cheap/soda_blaster/

Looked into this a bit more today and found a more powerful ultrasonic bath. I should have it some when this week so we'll see what kind of results I get. I will report back as soon as I've used it. Thanks for the reply's.
