Gsx1100 et out of storage after 22years

I have an ultrasonic cleaner and have run dozens of carbs through it without any problems. The basket the items sit in should have rubber feet so the components themselves are not actually shaken, just the cleaning fluid. The only other way to damage things is by using an unsuitable cleaning agent.

Brick cleaning acid sounds a bit scary. Got some for cleaning oil from driveway. Never would have thought of using it to clean passages  in carbs. 
I am sure it will definitely do the trick.

What cleaning agent would you use?

Nice if you’ve got the ultrasonic cleaner bluedog but when you ain’t and needs must then the acid works fine, like I said just don’t leave your float bowl or anything else for that matter soaking in the stuff, at £6 a gallon it’s a cheap option and is suitable for the job if used with caution, cleared my passages straight away

Just using a generic carb cleaner for ultrasonic off Fleabay.

I wasn't questioning your method, just commenting regarding somebody's concerns about an ultrasonic tank damaging parts.
