I was tipped off to a paint stripper that is metal-safe. Worked wonders on this LA25 I have. Klean Strip Premium stripper. http://www.kleanstrip.com/product/pr...ripper-aerosol

Follow all directions on can INCLUDING Wear chemical resistant clothes, gloves, safety glasses, and WORK OUTSIDE. The stuff stinks and is flammable as all get out. An old toothbrush works good for scrubbing the lifted paint off.

I found a surprise under the blue paint.

. I also noticed the bronze crankshaft bushing doesn't run the entire length of the crankcase. Kind of a let-down.
