I think it would be excellent for a BCG! I don't think the vinegar would harm the finish but ............... you could always change the formula. The ultrasonic action gets way down in the hidden places. It cleans the inside of the cases of all soot, etc.

Found these links. L&R chrages 1,000 for the Ultrasonic Cleaner, but I wonder if their solutions that they sell on Brownells will work fine in the units from Harbor Freight?
Did you disassemble the carbs first?
Did you use any cleaning agent or just water? If so, what agent?
For the money if it works a few times it will be worth it. Seems like that china crap works pretty good if you don't use it so will keep my fingers crossed. Any recommendations for juice?
So...forgive me for sounding (and maybe being) totally clueless. I had no idea you could do this. Would this work on say....BCG's? Without harming them? I mean this is pretty cool.

Perhaps hanging the object?
one thing i'd be nervous about ultrasonic (I own a decent smallish commercial model with integral heating) is that the item being cleaned usually rests on something. That interface betwen the item being cleaned and the support something is an potential area for wear due to the high frequency vibrations. Suggest adding rubber interfaces to the support points. I personally would not bother with this technique.
