Reply To: Cast iron cylinder jug cleaning tips?

Very nice line-up, Tubs! The Sea King runs great, just like my first one does. They seem to be good little motors. My first one didn’t need any serious cleaning of the jug, either. I wonder if the material used on those little ones is more corrosion resistant than some of the bigger, older engines? Also, thanks for the muriatic acid idea, Mumbles. I have used that stuff before on concrete and on a snow blower crank shaft, to remove bits of a thrown connecting rod. I know that you cannot be too careful with it! I am surprised the general public can still buy it!

Long live American manufacturing!
