Perhaps it is not standard, I once used a torch on a removed SU to loosen  somthing.  The fuel/fumes still in it ignited.  When the flames subsided and my 1st degree burns were no worse for wear, the carbs looked perfect.  All of the crud burned away.  Not suggesting this process but hey, it worked for me.

I bought one couple of years ago when I rebuilt some Dellortos.  Later I =
rebuilt some HD8s.  In both cases the ultra sonic cleaner worked fine. =
The only downside is that it has its own timer and will only run =
something like 3 or 4 minutes and then stop. You have to set it again, =
and again, and again..=20
