    Taylor made half horsepower deicer

    Probably some condensation or water intrusion in the motor casement. I would manually turn the impeller several turns.Shake the unit upside down and place it in a very warm dry place for a few days.(my boiler room is like a sauna) . you can leave it on the seat of your vehicle on a sunny day...

Excuse the red and tacky grease,does not look pretty.I also included a pic of the oil resevoir on the motor.Not exactly sure how to open it.Looks...

    If this is you choice of winterizing you need to get a Camco kit.As Bondo stated,you need to get a siphon started .This is exactly what a Camco kit will do.It basically runs your motor on muffs with hose water and you later switch over to AF with a simple valve switch over from water to AF.I...

    Water stains

    I dont think any of us need 30 gallons.Lysol bowl cleaner is much closer in composition to Marykate On-off and is in a gel form which is much more effective for what needs to be clean by staying on the fouled areas without dripping off immediately.My $5 goes for 2 bottles of Lysol 10x toilet...

    Engine sneezes on start, runs for a few on idle, then shuts off

    Sorry I should have been more specific about the plugs.After a proper decarb ,which is the process of spraying Seafoam into each cylinder and letting sit for 30 mins or so and starting motor which will look like a crop duster.When smoke clears repeat the process and as soon as you start the...

    Water stains

    MaryKate on-off is the best at $29 a bottle.Lysol 2x toilet bowl cleaner $2.99 works 2nd best but at the savings you can do it twice.I use the Lysol.No rubbing or scrubbing needed.Charlie
