Good update video on degassing Tom i remember seeing a few older ones when we got our first ultrasonic cleaner. It is also suggested to use distilled water in ultrasonic cleaners simply because of minerals in tap water. We have used distilled water and did not notice any difference not to say there is not one but visually and operationally the carbs look the same when they come out of the bath. Over 9 years we have only had two carb failures after ultrasonic cleaning, one was too severely gummed and rusted up and the other had spider webs internally that would not dissolve or allow removal.

Thanks Wayne, much appreciated. They’re a useful tool aren’t they!

I always wondered how much having an internal container (the glass jar) affects the cleaning. it seems like it would disperse at least some of the harmonics that do the cleaning, but I could be wrong. Have you experimented with going straight into the cleaner vs putting the parts in a glass jar inside it?

@VintageEngineRepairs Жыл бұрын

It hasn’t made any noticeable difference with or without the jar, though this machine is a very good quality one, maybe with lower end units you may start to notice a difference? Do you have one?

@GuysPlayingWithTools Жыл бұрын

@Vintage Engine Repairs Of course, but mine is a lower end one. 🤣 I used it on a gas tank today that had gas so old, it turned bright red(that's a new one for me) mine is not big enough for a tank so I had to flip it... worked though

I’m looking at buying one of these, are you using a glass jar to put your dirty parts in and keep the water clean? I’d also thought of running it with jizer fluid to help degrease really dirty parts, is that possible?

@VintageEngineRepairs Жыл бұрын

Yep, the jar keeps everything clean. Not sure what Jizer is. I use a water based alkaline bilge and engine bay degreaser, ct14 it’s incredible.

@@VintageEngineRepairs jizer is the red Kerro bath fluid. I think I’ll go your way and use it in a jar for the dirty stuff. 👍

You said to degass once in the morning. What if we put items inside the ultrasonic throughout the day that creates air bubbles ? Should we degass again before we run a cycle ?

@VintageEngineRepairs 4 ай бұрын

Hey, no, just degas it every time you use fresh water :)

@astolatpere11 3 ай бұрын

If you use destilled water from a store there is no need to de-gas is there?

@VintageEngineRepairs 3 ай бұрын

That’s a very interesting point! I don’t know honestly! Technically it has no air in it, but if it’s been shaken in transport or dropped, would that introduce gas back in? In not sure. Thanks for bringing that up :)

Do you mean degauze? AS in electric fields build up etc.

@VintageEngineRepairs Жыл бұрын

No, degas, remove the air in the water to allow for cavitation.

TO WORK PROPERLY.. DO NOT LET ANYTHING TOUCH THE BOTTOM OR SIDES OF TANK . PS your basket should suspend the parts and never touch the bottom

I thought by the title you actually had some condition of the device itself needing a fix. Turns out you are degassing the cleaning solution, not the machine. Strange, I have a large cleaner like that I got 6 years ago and there was no mention in the operating instructions about this procedure. Maybe this makes a difference and maybe not, not every source of water has dissolved gas in high concentration and even if it did I doubt the cleaning effect will be compromised for very long, if at all. Everything I have cleaned gets right with the program and we have well water with quite a lot of dissolved gas, you can draw a glass of water and watch it fiz and turn from cloudy to clear!
