Pack rats all of you! I been that way all my life, there is no cure until you cross the Styx and then, sadly, a library is burned..
I thank all here for the knowledge giving..
I hung it up 14 years ago I think, shoot what day is it.. you get my drift..
I wasn't as fortunate as some who had a job they love.. and made money besides. I worked for a corporate builder when in truth I enjoyed carpentry. I made enough....
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there are numerous bits of rubber seals etc that will have deteriorated. You would need to do a total over haul. Probably best to clean it up and start your own museum.
Start with some new exhaust elbows, I am dealing with much the same..I had to replace the port side, now the starboard side is running a bit hot.. I've come to the conclusion that it's a balancing act and the water needs to flow equally through the entire system...
