Well, that worked!

Float cork was “welded” to that rod with old tarnished fuel/oil.  Fished it out with a wire with a hook on it.  Carb cleaner might have worked just as well.  After the cork came out, we cleaned it real good and set it back down in some gasoline.  She floats!

Cleaned carb, and am working on getting the tank cleaned out.  First round of white vinegar (overnight) and some shaking of small rocks cleaned most of the junk out.  Rinsed, then added another round of white vinegar to soak overnight once more.

Can’t mess with it tomorrow, but Sunday we add fuel and jerk in the rope for the first time in what appears to be, a long time!  Getting close..
