    suggest one rabbit at a time... leave key to OFF and don't involve timing issues... you can activate the starter cuircuit and do voltage drop testing by simply manually applying 12v on the solenoid control post which the key START position normally activates. have you shiny...

    Across solenoid IN post and B- (I used an engine ground point) - 0.0V before cranking, MAIN IN post on solenoid should always have 12v..! in fact its is suppose to equal the same as reading the voltage across the battery posts since the engine frame ground is the same referrence as the...

    Check/Fix/Replace Starter Motor 1996 50hp

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    just position the piston to close off the in-out ports half way down and you can clean the exhaust section and just run a narrow vacum tube hooked-to to the vacum cleaner to suck out the debris nothing will enter the cyl chambers . Doesn't need to be shiny!!

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    Actually it wasn't that bad I just used a small scrapper for the big chuncks and while the GC was off I ran a stiff BBQ brush with SS bristles down the exhaust section. I suspect if one wanted to do a 100% clean job a good pressure washer would blast the crud away real nice butall I did...
