Heated Parts Washer under $10
 
I cobbled together a little parts washer out of old junk I had lying around a while back and forgot about the video. It's a bit rude and crude but it works a lot better than some of the high dollar models out there.

Hope you enjoy.

I like that. Flipped the lid to become the pan/strainer of it, very inventive sir.

When you’re done cleaning your parts, let’s get the turkey in there so it will be ready for supper!:biggrin2:

What are you using for solvent?

No more turkeys in that bad boy. The coating on the pan chipped and got rusty, so I got a new one, but yeah, the lid made a perfect pan. I had the little pump lying around from another project, but it was just the cheapest pump Harbor Freight had to offer.

I'm using 2 parts Pinalen (Dollar General Pine Sol) to one part water as solvent and it works great. If the pump won't pick up, I've been topping it up with water. DO NOT use flammable solvents in a heated parts washer, especially this one.

I wanted to clean a 8HP Kohler carb,,
I used a $2 yard sale crock pot, and a 50% mix of Pine Sol,,,
one hour of soaking,, the carb came out perfect,,,

AND,, the shop smelled great for a week!! :bigthink:

Imagine how cool it would be if your crock pot vibrated and had a little pump in there.

The shop really does smell great.
