There are do it yourself shrink wrap kits and you need a heat gun not a torch. From what I hear they are not cheap but neither is repairing your interior and wiring. Radio noise does not need to be loud, and a couple lights going on and off with a small timer does work, I have used that one...
I see very little black crud dripping out and little to no smoke when it starts from the sea foam. If the carbon buildup is heavy, your motor will look like your whole house is on fire !
Unless you do an awful lot of idling, you should not have a decarb issue. I use the sea foam as well, but just spray some into the carb while on its initial startup in my drive on muffs. Let it soak for a short while then run it again. My 1992 Merc doesn't have much buildup,
I have had them climb up the walls and the studs, crawl across and drop down from above !!! Back when my grandson had ducks and the mice were after the food. Started using 30 gallon trash can with a plastic bag liner. Once the food was closed up tight, the majority went elsewhere for easier...
Yes, and have lights on timers, how often have you saw mice in lighted areas ! Neighbor had two lights in his barn, on timers so one went off, the other went on at different ends of the barn. Another guy used an old scratchy recording of folks talking and walking around. Both methods greatly...
In my younger days ( currently 74 yrs old), we often used a heavy thread or cord coated with grease as a packing material, sometimes we used small cork gaskets coated in grease then moved up to O rings if we could find ones that fit. More recently they made packing washers, but not sure what...
Yeck.....got me itching just looking at your pics.....good luck and keep us posted. Hope your using a good respirator !! Fiberglass dust is toxic to your lungs !!
In my experience, you have to go after them whole hog at the start ! Make sure there is no food in the area to attract them. Set numerous traps and these are the only places to have food. Traps for big and small critters are needed at the same time. Once you start getting hits on traps, then...
I have a number of places around me that can be protected from wind depending which way it is coming from. I often go for a ride in the river when the big lake can be rolling 2-3 ft, the river is only 6".....
No longer worth changing your own, at my age, changing a flat along a highway is not something I want to do anymore. I have been carrying road coverage on my insurance, for 25 bucks a year, my insurance co will send someone out to bring gas or change a flat tire. Never ran out of gas but have...
It will probably leak if it isn't already, why take the gamble ? You said you upgraded all the structure, so you must be OK with dong fiberglass work. So why not remove it and repair the hole so you will have no worries ?
Are you sure the blind threaded holes are not filled with crap ? If used and aged, sometimes manifold holes get filled with rust and crud making them more shallow. Often a drill into the hole will bring out the crud, not going to drill into fresh metal, just check to be sure the hole in not...
Been using Pennzoil two stroke oil for as far back as I can remember, over 40 years anyway, my container states for tcw3 and for all air cooled two stroke engines. Not only my out boards but weed eater, chainsaws, snowblowers, never a problem !!
