I wouldn't use MEK. Typically a water-based solution is recommended for ultrasonic cleaning, and there may be safety reasons for that.

MEK is nasty stuff, and can be dangerous to use.

I'd be curious what ducatiman has to say about it, but I have soaked carbs in (old school) carb cleaner, then after rinsing put them into a heated ultrasonic bath using water and a degreaser.

Has worked for me, but there may be a better procedure.
