Since becoming a member and plowing around through the topics and past discussions,it became apparent that theres a lot of good technical talk going on. But,its not finding its way to the how to section of the forum. I've put forth some of my own hairbrained methods and some comments coming from my personal experience. But,I am real interested to know how smokeys milkstone formula works,or the molasses concoction for cleaning gas tanks for example. Maybe some of these suggestions should be examined by a few qualified members,or possibly a poll. Allow the ideas and suggestions be considered for a time,and then add them to the how to section. Cleaning out gas tanks,cleaning and refinishing parts,etc., and where to get it all done is all sought after info by most everyone just getting interested in these great old machines. And no matter how seasoned,there is something to be learned from everyone. Mark.
