Hi

I found an excellent substitute and that is WD-40 at my local hardware shop. Man it works wonders. My only concern is that it should not effect the Oil Seals. But after one spray the prop turns to and fro as if there is no friction inside the engine. Try it out!!

to clean the outside I just heat some engine coolant (anti-freeze). Taking care not to smell the fumes and just use an old toothbrush to clean the engine. I also seal the carb. Just 15 to 20 Mins and the engine is sparkling clean.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE CAUSTIC SODA. JUST TO TRY IT OUT I USED IT ON A SMALL LITTLE PORTION UNDER THE MUFFLER. INITIALLY THE GREASE JUST MELTED AWAY BUT AFTER 5 MINS I REALISED THAT IT TURNED DARK GREY.
