I bought a used one off Ebay

It is big enough to get one carb in it.

I love it, just wish it was big enough to get two carbs in.

I got mine off of Ebay, the bigger there are the more they cost. You want to make sure the carb is as clean as possible before you put it in, keeps the solution cleaner and does a better job. Sure looks like the prices went up alot since I bought mine. Good luck.

Wow!! That is the Turbo model. It should cost more.

Actually I think that is a fair price.

Northern tool is only .16 gal, has to be very small, mine holds about two gallons. Love it, big enough to put 2-3 carbs in it but I usually only do one at a time.

you can purchase direct or on ebay factory direct, Crest is a good one, so is L&R, the L&R is the one I have.. Make sure you purchase one that is large enough for what you want to do, also make sure it is heated & has a timer on it..
If you have firearms & want to clean them also get An extra pan for your lubricating oil. & make sure the one you purchase is long enough for what you want to clean or at least over 1/2 of it..

Just my $.0875 worth
