Although the seller I used gave good service (replaced it twice), they just don't last. First one lasted a couple of hours, second one a couple of seconds, third one a couple of minutes. I found a largish second hand one on ebay for about 80 quid I think it was. New price over 500. Even with that it took aaaaages to clean out my CB750 carbs. HTH -- /Simon

Ok, the bad ones were called "Sonic Wave" model DSD150A2Q The good one I now have was marketed by RS Components, but almost certainly not made by them. HTH -- /Simon |
