Has anyone cleaned a small carburator in this? Can you use a solution other than water?

Being a stainless steel tank, you could use any type of liquid you needed to such as mean green or a solvent. My only concern would be not letting the item touch the bottom of the tank lest you damage the ultrasound unit. If you try it for this, find a way to suspend the part in the solution using string and some sticks or cardboard.

I am positive you could use a solvent with caution. The tank is stainless steel.

I don't recall how much water, but the instructions came with the product, telling you how much water to use. One package descaled mine, but if you have let the machine go longer, you may need to do it twice. I used to use vinegar, and ran it through several times, straining it through a coffee filter before reusing it. I think you could do the same with the cleaner solution if the descale light doesn't go out.

I've had no problem with mine at all. This includes all points where the gas line and carburetor might leak. Certainly if you strain the gas line or damage the unit, there may be a problem. I always would suggest that the line is shut off and carburetor drained out by running to minimize any possible leaks and start up problems when the unit is put into storage. the units that were a problem were generally smaller than this one, although I still think 'operator error' may have been a significant part of the problem.

I have had none. I just blow it clean and brush it off after each use. It is a workhorse. Use it periodically. I have had no issues. I sometimes spray a little oil on the till blades. unit still looks new

I don't think it would work that well. I use simple green and water, it works terrific! I use it for cleaning carburetor...

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

I don't know because I don't have a Carburator, but if it has dust on it that's not sticking to the object, it should remove the dust & clean it.

rinse the entire thing out. Place straight distilled white vinegar into the unit. Run unit with only the distilled vinegar in it for a few hours that should clean it off good luck.

This is a new formula, the old formula worked great on carburators but did effect plastic and rubber parts , this formula has no effect on plastic and has a hard time removing the shellac build up in carbs. I had to soak a lawn mower carburator for 8 days just to get it simi cleaned. The old formula worked in 30 min.

Have never tried it, good idea though. I just clean mine out with Clorox cleanup.

only use distilled water when mixing with your oils. To clean unit which you have to do periodically use straight distilled white vinegar only in the unit for about an hour unplug unit discard unused distilled white vinegar rinse it thoroughly filled with distilled water and your oil plug do you have internet on it should run as good as new good luck.

The carb needs cleaned with carb cleaner spray or if that does not work you will need to take it off the saw, take it apart and clean it and re-install. Fuel that sits for a while causes this to fact. Empty the fuel tank between usage.

This is the issue I had naturally with the machine and reservoir, thru no fault of my own. But i cleaned the machine by running 1/2 cup of vinegar to 8 cups of water twice until the reservoir starts filling again. Then flushed it 2 more times with just water to get the vinegar all out Good to do this 3-4 times a year in general. Good luck. Let me know.

My pressure washer recently as of this spring would not start, after sitting for 8 months with gas w/ethanol. Take your carborator apart and spray some cleaner in there. Go find some real 100% gas and some Seafoam and hopefully that will do the trick, because it worked for me. I worked on my pressure washer for a few weeks before it finally cranked up. Starts on first pull now.

The unit is so small that I use an all purpose grease clean and spray it out completely. Mine is very clean as a result with no smells, I love mine.

They recommended the orange degreaser, I use it then a USBC approved cleaner. I have had good results using that combination.

I have had the same challenges, took into camping world they serviced it and said it had dirt in the carbs, this is after I explained that was still new. I have not used since, I am not sure they resolved the problem. Let me know when you get a good answer.
