RE: mud in the engine?
Camp,,CP's been around a while and comes up with all kinds of stuff....made a foam wing cutter out of a stick of wood, a light dimmer, a banjo string, and a battery charger!!......if it was me and the engine hit the mud that day, I would pull the carb, backplate,glowplug, and stick it in a jar of rubbing alcohol (way cheaper than fuel) and shake the stink out of it for 5 minutes and turn the crank over under running hot water (well I might pull the head, but I didnt when it happened to me) going into the cylinder,,,,I just revived a bunch of old .049's by setting them in a quart of rubbing alcohol...engines are dirty anyway, ....then oil it all down/up inside and out and run it as soon as possible.....Rog
