A word on the After-Run oil... true, don't use WD-40. It's a solvent.

I've read Clarence Lee's column where he describes a concoction that he makes from 50% ATF (as noted above) and 50% Marvel Mystery Oil AIR TOOL OIL.... it has special chemicals in it to prevent rust....

And, I hope that something works on my Irvine 46, Mk III. It is a beautiful engine, but it also won't shut down. I don't agree with the comment 'Just Live With It" because there are times when you HAVE to shut the engine down , like now.

I'm sure that either of the suggestions (replacing the bearing, or the RTV around the carb screw) will work.. I'll try it in mine...

Just my $.02
