That looks like a really nice example David.
If a motor gets painted early in it life it
protect the aluminum. Also the nickel on the
brass parts and the fuel lines. I’m betting your
going to find a really nice motor hiding under
that paint, including the gas tank.

Tubs,
I already cleaned the paint of the carry handle thingy and the fuel line and carb. There is a lot of the original nickel plating remaining. Why do people think paint is the answer?
Working on the muffler can now. Missing the inner one, but I can make a substitute. At least it was cheap paint and is coming off easy.
When I get brave, I will tackle the tank and hope there is no body filler hiding!
