Has anyone experience of ultrasonic carb cleaners? I have a similar 
problem with a lawn mower engine (Kubota) that was parked for several 
years with the same results. Carb cleaner and soaking in cellulose 
thinners made no difference although it will run on straight carb 
cleaner sprayed into the intake. The carb is a Nikki which is like no 
carb I've seen before. Ultrasonic seems to be the next step but any 
personal experience would be valuable.

Thanks.
