I too am in the Pine Sol camp.

"...usually 3 to 4 HOURS is ALL that is needed." (That is "ALL"?!) LOL
Too long for me. Ours are done in 15 MINUTES.

Just don't forget to get them out later. With the old dip cleaner when I first started I did. Boy do they come out black.

Anyway I using Dawn or one of the 12.5pH soaps and they are usually clean in 30-60 minutes. It now as much as the internals that is taking longer as it is the exterior surface dirt that is baked on. I am just picky on how clean they are.

That reminds me I got to get another bottle of Dawn Wednesday while I'm putting all that JD green and gold in the bank. I think I make it the Cherry Blossom scented one this time. Too bad they don't a rose scented one...As I could say the carbs come out smelling like roses.

All: I have been using my HF ultra sonic and it has worked well! Usually run a carb through three cycles and all is good. Started out using Dawn and worked well. My buddy sells Schaefer Lubricants and they have a citrus based product Citrol that works (IMO) even better. One of my better investments for the garage. Thanks for all the advice/opinions.
