Picked this up today. Engine is free. Everything is there except the chain guard. PO took it to Alaska so he installed the enclosed chain thingee. I will not keep it.

Re: In for a pound
I opened up the fuel lid and found gasoline turned to brown mud. The cleaner solution has been in for 24 hours now. I'll give it another 24 then have a looksee and assess it.

Re: In for a pound
The tank inside is very bad. I used the Creem liner first solution and it has improved slightly. Next it was vinegar soaking for 4 days and then put about 18 inches of chain in and shook her up. Again slight improvement but , with the shallow depth at the front of the tank it was difficult to get the chain out. Eventually I had to go fishing with a an extending magnet to finally get it. So, next time it will be nuts instead of chain. Now soaking with an Evaporust knock off to see what that will do. Otherwise, it may be searching for another tank.
