Carburetor cleaning

qdod · Dec 22, 2023

I have a Farmall H in need of a carb rebuild. I have a HF ultrasonic cleaner. What is the best fluid to use to clean the carb. I have used Purple Power in the past. Thanks for any comments.

Liquid laundry detergent (low or non sudsing) works.

Purple power is great.... We use it in our
ultrasonic cleaner on carbs

owny is a fabric softener, not a detergent.

I know a chainsaw builder that uses something like 60% water,30% purple power and if you really want them clean %10 vinegar. He said if you use vinegar, dont leave them in there to long.

I would use Berryman Chem-Dip but in in the ultrasonic machine. It's made for that.

Who sells the Berryman Chem Dip. Oreillys s????

Berrymans is great, for a 2 day soak, but to really finish cleaning a carb you can't beat a little purple power in a hot water ultrasonic cleaner.

Merry Christmas!!

I used Chem Dip on my carburetor. Couldn't
find anyone local so ordered it from
Amazon.

I normally take the carb out of the Berrymans and use a low pressure power washer to rinse it off.

If your carburetor like the carters , has aluminum bowl
Can Purple Power be used on Stainless Steel and Aluminum?
Do not use Purple Power on Stainless Steel or Aluminum as it could leave white streaks or a hazy film. If accidentally used on Stainless Steel
or Aluminum and you have this residue, try buffing with a Metal Polish, such as Wenols or Mothers Metal Polish to restore finish.

Also a no on chrome on copper .
Got from the website cleanrite
I ve used dawn in my ultrasound for aluminum hydraulic pump bodys
