New Ultrasonic Cleaner
Experience with both boats and Ultrasonic cleaning machines.
Cavitation happens on the low pressure side of boat propellers when they are under power.
Cavitation:
Cavitation is a phenomenon in which the static pressure of the liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid.
This is the action that gets inside all the small ports and internal channels on carburetors to clean them out.
Fun Facts.
One more thing about the Ultrasonic Cleaners, do not put your bare hands in the Ultrasonic Cleaner solution when it is running. The Ultrasonic vibration goes right to your bones, causing nasty damage to your bones and joints.
Shut the Ultrasonic cleaner off before removing your parts. Even if you use utensils like tongs, the vibration follows up the tongs into your hand, so be careful.
Also good idea to do the Ultrasonic Cleaning outside, if using Pinesol it will surely stink up your garage as it is cooking.
Rinse parts with distilled water and blow dry when done.
