Rustoleum does pretty good with gas, as long as it isn't constantly soaked. Pay attention to the rustoleum label that says finish all coats within an hour, or wait 48 hours to recoat. If you ignore that warning, it WILL wrinkle on you and then you have to start over. Try not to use brake cleaner for...

Nice, but....

- Way too much money.

I could bore you to tears discussing Clinton throttle linkage problems, but I'll try to make this short. The original float type carb is not really good for racing, as it will usually stall/hesitate in hard corners. If dad is just putting around, it will be fine when used with the spring/fan linkage...

Early (old) motors use commutators and brushes to energize the rotor (think of it as a crankshaft) to get it to spin one way or the other. If that is what you have, you could simply reverse the wires go...
