Scrub a dub dub




After five winters of road salt, you could hear the snap crackle pop of arcing on damp morning start ups. I always cringe taking the pressure washer to the motor. But it was time.

No-started fine. But not sure it accomplished what I was hoping. Still sounded a little ‘snappy’.
I’ll give some time to thoroughly dry out before changing the plugs, wires, boots and that resistor that I see folks doing. I’m still shy of 60k. At least it’ll be a nice clean job!
