Yup, I have a friend who has one. He uses simple green in it. Carbs come clean and the protective coating intact. There is nothing I loathe more about pulling wrenches than carb dip. That is some nasty shit and the smell makes me wretch. I haven't had any around in 30 years. I get by real well with Berryman's B12 spray. I use a torch tip cleaner for small passages.

YES, I use Simple Green in the ultrasonic cleaner, unbeatable results and eco friendly to boot.
