Carb Cleaning Question

Top of the day gents..

I'm just about to rebuild a few Walbros and I'm curious what you gentlemen like to use as a cleaner/solvent. ???

I usually use some Gunk degreaser in an old ultra sonic denture cleaner machine. Then a good blast of compressed air.. Seems to do a good job but I would be curious if there is a better product. Whats best for the white metal corrosion..???

Thanks and Cheers

Hazard

i usually sandblast my walbros and clean them good with carb cleaner though it gets cold when its 10 degrees outside and you spray carb clean on your fingers.

If a total rebuild is in the picture, MEK (Methylethylketone) in that ultrasonic cleaner will work the best. Do not get this stuff in contact w/ anything you don't want disolved. Will eat any type of rubber and removes paint (with hardener).
But if you have access to a blaster, Ryans idea would work great also. Probably better seeings how it sounds like there probably is some exfoliating corrosion going on also.
