If you are in the Power Sports industry, then you or your employees are well aware of struggles that come with cleaning used and dirty carburetors without the aid of ultrasonic cleaning. A clean carburetor allows your vehicle to mix the fuel and air at a much more efficient rate, allowing your engine to run much more efficiently and obtain higher speeds. There are tiny and complex sections of a carburetor such as the power valve, accelerator pump, choke which can make it a difficult part to clean.
The most common way to clean these areas is manual disassembly using specialized tools, and spraying toxic carburetors cleaners into all the chambers and brushing the debris away. The whole process can involve several employees and take over and hour to accomplish.
A quick glance at any online automotive forum shows there are thousands of people who struggle with cleaning carburetors by hand. Here are a few quotes (excuse the bad grammar, since these aren’t my quotes) from a carburetor forum titled: “My Hands After Using Cleaner”.
“I have more experience with cracked fingers/hands than most anyone on the planet”
“Been cleaning up a couple of sets of carbs, after using carb cleaner my hands are cracked and sore and no amount of hand cream is helping…”
“Ever clean carbs in carb cleaner then clean parts in mineral spirits? Your hands will start smoking hummmmmm brings new meaning to smoking hands?”
“Been there, done that, have the dry split fingers to prove it.”

Did you know with the help of ultrasonic cleaning technology it is possible to completely eliminate all potential health risks when it comes to cleaning greasy carburetors? Ultrasound uses 100% green soap that is safe for your skin. That means no more gloves, no more toxic solvents and no more cracked skin. You don’t even have to do a complete disassembly – only remove the floats and jets. Did we mention this can be accomplished by one person in only 15 minutes?
