    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have noticed some posts on penetrating oil. I'm going to buy some now. Once I buy it, where should I put it?
 
PB Blaster is good stuff. What are you trying to loosen up?

On the part/piece that you are trying to loosen? :o
Or are you talking about storage of the product, once you've used it?

I'll second the PB Blaster...makes WD40 look like a shot at the local tavern. :lol:

You can use a teaspoon or so of Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders and let it sit for a few days before trying to turn the engine over by hand off the right end of the crank where the ignition sits. If it cranks okay by hand then try cranking it with the plugs out to spin the motor up and get some oil circulating. After that put the plugs back in and see if it will fire. You are almost certainly going to need to go through the carbs.
 
I'm a fan of PB Blaster too, but my friend swears by Kroil. I've seen that stuff do some amazing things on rusted nuts and bolts. I may get some next time through the auto parts store.
 
The best I have ever used is B&G In Force....it is a ion-activated penetrating oil. This stuff has loosened parts that PB breaker would not touch. PB is my second choice...... and is easier to find.
