    Soda blasting works great too. One key aspect is baking soda will dissolve in water, so after you blast the carb just soak it in some hot water for a few minutes. Therefore no material will be left/stuck in any nooks and crannies; whereas any other material could potentially get lodged in the carb. It is also a very mild abrasive. It does a hell of a just removing dirt and grime without tearing into the aluminum.

    THIS IS THE HARBOR FREIGHT ONE FOR YOU.
    http://www.harborfreight.com/ultraso...aner-3305.html

    or this one is a bit more expensive and larger. your choice
    http://www.harborfreight.com/25-lite...ner-95563.html

    Inexpensive. You might want to make a 1/4" mesh basket like he uses to keep the big parts contained.

    A new CREST Ultrasonic cleaner will run you about $500 or more. Unless you are cleaning carbs on a daily bases, I would look at Harbor Freight ($30-$70).

    Will an ATC carb fit in the small Harbor Freight cleaner? It says PINT capacity, that is pretty small. If it will fit a 185 carb, I wonder if it would fit a 250ES carb?

    I got mine off Craigslist for $200 used you want a heated one the ones without heat don't do as a good job. plus the cleaning solution you need to get is a big help and isn't cheap $65 a gallon.

    Here is one on ebay now $335 http://cgi.ebay.com/VWR-Aquasonic-Cl...item23113770cd
