Industrial Alloy wheel Acid $\:D/$
Works a Treat.....2-3 days Soak and a slight rub with some autosol and 20years of Rust Gone! Magic!!

Bernie dropped your engine off with me when he brought his.
it is a tad dirty and rough around the edges,
wait until its finished. will be good enough to go in that newly powdercoated
frame.

p.s - i'm a tad embarrased by condition of Mine compared to Bernies

here you go will.
carbs are now spotless after being in the ultrasonic cleaner. I will order
some new pilot/main jets Monday. rebuild the carbs and set the float
heights.
