OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Idle Chatter I hope this thing works

Sold an old ag bike last week, thought I might invest the funds in one of these..............

Fingers crossed!!

Rusty ute, how many Litre is it? would be interested in how it goes.

cheers.

That's a 13L unit. Once I get it all up and running, I will get some before and after pics up.

A very useful tool for serving lawn mowers. I have only heard good things about these cleaners. Saves a whole lot of elbow grease. Wish we had one at work. Could have used it today...

do they just run water in them or some sort of chemical?

You need a chemical for engine stuff. I have 4 to try, EcoClean by Duo (that's a Tassie company that sells Wynns), Purple Power, and two others that names elude me right now. I am going for a 1:20 mix to start with. Thats about 600ml to 12000ml. There are specialist products to try as well. a lot of people in the US use "Simple Green" industrial range, which is distributed by Blackwoods. Most of these chemicals are between $80 - $200 for a 20/25L drum. So hopefully in the next weeks I will be able to put together some forumlas for anyone interested.

Just noticed your from Tassy too, what area? im Wynyard way.

I;m south, Brigton area
Which is 20km north of Hobart

Have you give it a try yet Rusty? I was looking on ebay and there not that dear. I am interested to see how it brings up carbies and heads, hope it works good as I recon it would be a good addition to the shed.

cheers.

Do it. It works awesome. I wish i got the 27Litre now.

got any before and after photos?

working on it, having trouble uploading at the mo.
Check back 2morrow evening.

OK here is some before and after pics. All the carbs got before going in the cleaner was a blow off with compressed air. Then dismantled and in they go. These three were all done at once, small parts I put in a glass jar in the cleaner.
Suzuki 2 stroke.

Tecumseh, could have used a bit longer.




All carbs were water contaminated



The cleaning fluid was Hunters Triple 7 at 500ml to 11000ml water. Run at 20mins at 60 C. The cleaning mix had already cleaned other items for 1hr, so this was quite used solvent.

Some more done earlier on

looks good, what do you think you would put into a 27L that you can't fit into the 13L? I've been looking at the two different sizes and the main thing I can see that would probably make the most difference is the 27L has 500W power, but would probably go to the size of the tank, dont know if it would actually clean any better, but what would I know, still checking them out but looks good from what you have done and if the bits were run under the parts cleaner first would probably make a difference as well, where did you buy the hunters tripple 7 stuff? what is that just a detergent?

cheers.

I do a lot of car stuff as well, the bigger tank would fit most 4 cyl rocker gear, rocker covers, timing covers etc.
Hunters are a company in themselves, http://www.huntersproducts.com.au/contact.php . they have offices Hobart, Launnie and Burnie. It is a organic waterbased detergent.
