Gas engine

the sure fire way to free up an old engine is to get an old crock pot and pour some antifreeze in it, just enough to cover the engine. Turn on HI for about 2 hours. Carefully remove the engine with thongs and slowly start turning the prop.
Another way is to put engine in the oven at 200 degrees for about 30 minutes . remove and try to turn it over. You must use extreme care when trying both of these methods. I use the antifreeze method ofter, with no problems. BE VERY CAREFUL. And I forgot to mention, do not use the crock pot to cook in ever again.

I found a good price on a glow clip. Will this http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-Glow-Head-Batt ... 4cf763d959 work? It looks to me like the right end on it. Thank you for helps

Wow thanks guys! I soaked it in Liquid Wrench then soaked it in 91% alcohol and it feels awesome. I'm sure it'll run with some juice and fuel. Thanks!

You are toying with us!

the 170?
My really vicious cat destroyed it...
It was a sad day

And i agree with squishyhip,
you have really restored that engine.

How old is the engine? They don't make the Golden Bees any more, do they?
