I have one of their ignition points sharpeners. It's great, but I don't think they carry them anymore.

I prefer seafoam. For a larger engine, throw in two cans in the tank, two in the oil, run it until you're about empty, then suck a can in through the carb til it kills the engine, let it soak for an hour, use the spray sea-foam to clean the carb/intake, start it up and take off. BG44K is also good.

For engine externals, Simple Green. Wet your engine, spray it on and let it soak for a while (rewet and respray a few times), pressure wash it off and should take off all your grime.

Don't you want to keep shrapnel OUT of the engine? Isn't that why we have oil and air filters?

The adjustable powerband and oil line bypass systems are quite popular. I might order one of each.

That's the point, the site is a practical joke. Look closely at some items (some not so closely) and you'll see that every product has at least 1 major design flaw... like the spark plugs...

Do they actually sell these things as gag gifts or do they just laugh at you if you try to buy something?

thats cause you didn't buy the piston return springs and install them when you put that carb on.
