    Okay I've gotten a lot of response in different opinions just from over the phone I figured I'd throw this out there as you well know our carburetors are precious and we all want the best results possible I've used carb cleaner in a can I've you spray carb cleaner I've soaked Harley carburetors in gallons of carpet cleaners with good success but Here Comes technology and these new Sonic cleaners that heat and they are being praised by many I have a good friend that just spent $1, 000 on one the best one I can't replace my carbs and we've tried and we've seen different results on junk carburetors with different chemicals has anybody use them and if so what fluid do you prefer some say lemon juice some say Royal Purple cleaner other say glycol now keep in mind I know this machine will dissolve anything in it especially aluminum over. Of time so we're only talking a short moment of time that they will be in solution I'm just hesitant until I hear more about it so anybody have any input would be great to hear from you

    He's a Premium Member so he doesn't have to be coherent :)

    I have nothing else to add to this conversation.
