RE: Tips for the SPA newbie
Good question Tex. Since you have to go glo for SPA (and should for classic...ouch, ouch, ok ok) just be sure to bring plenty of paper towels and "juice". Personally, I made up a few gallons (and will again) of water with ( I think it was) Dawn detergent and some vinegar and ammonia. It was cheap and worked great in the day. The Dawn cut the oil, the ammonia didn't streak, and the vinegar did whatever Gramps said it would do. Seriously, it worked so I plan to do it again to keep the ship clean. Otherwise try 409. Clean the radio with the aerosol dust cans you use for your PC or Mac, get em at Radio Shack. For after run oil I always used MMO (marvel mystery oil), never use WD-40 asit attracts water. I hear
Mobil 1 is very good and I plan to try it. Occasionally blow the dust out of the fuse with a low, low psi blow nozzle/gun. Always check connections, remember EMS forelectrical, mechanical, and surgical (EMS). Surgical meaning tubing for fuel or air (retracts). Many will recall when we used surgical tubing for fuel lines (right?). If retracts are used, use appropriate care considering if they're air or mechanicals. It helps to build a checlklist as you go, and then use it! In the day, with no PC's so readily available, it was an arduous task to do that but it is rather easy today. I'm sure you'll get many more ideas so be ready to copy and paste, copy and paste, copy......
