So far:
(Flat!) coca cola for gummed up carb jets/emulsion tubes/needles.
Water/washing up liquid general small parts degreasing.
Flash liquid/water. (this has an awesome cleaning power).

Not tried trike or other solvents yet.

I've used white spirit and it works. The destructions say not to use
solvents but I reckon thats 'cos the liquid gets warm while its working.
As long as you use it somewhere thats well ventilated and you don't
light up next to it, there's no promble.

When I worked at HP in Bristol, we had a big ultrasonic jobby in the
prototype area. First tank was Teepol, second and third were water.
Breathtakingly effective with trainers, as it happens...
