Go buy a rotary tip for his pressure washer, it's a zero tip that does about two inches wide as the tip rotates to rip the stuff off.

Got a little more off, but still pretty glued on. Maybe exposed to elements now, that layer will loosen up

Well stupid me...after swapping the prop, I didn't reconnect the spark plug wires. Went to crank her up today...and guess I over did it cranking. Won't crank now at all...wife's yelling "Sell it!"

Dropped it off at the mechanic, we'll see how much this is going to cost me

New solenoid's in, replaced a couple fuel hoses while I had the cowl off, and the spark plugs were pretty carbon-ed up, so replaced them too.

New ignition switch wired in, thin the old one was blowing fuses(not really a merc switch)

Running well now. To the lake tomorrow!!!
