Arden .199 questions !
I picked up an Arden .199 engine this past weekend and I need the help of you (old ) experts out there !
1. How can the magnesium finish be restored on this engine. it appears to have alot of corrosion/oxidation on it .
2. Where can parts such as clear plastic tanks be purchased ? I assume that they are no longer produced , but is there a repro seller out there anywhere ?
3. Are special wrenches needed to dissassemble the engine ? It appears to have a head/cylinder assembly similar to a Cox engine , but no slots to engage the wrench tabs .
Would anyone consider providing a copy of the instruction sheet or exploded view of this engine ?
Any and all ideas or suggestions would be appreciated .
The price was right so adding to my investment would be worthwhile .
Contact me at : [email protected] if you want .
Thanks and what a great network !
