Since we spruced up the carb let's go ahead and knock the crud off the engine while we're at it. Click any pic to see a larger version.

For this task you'll need:
  • 9/16 Wrench
  • Wrench for your battery cables, whatever size they are (this varies widely)
  • Prybar or crowbar to tighten your belt
  • About 20 oz Simple Green. $5 bux at Walmart
  • A plastic bag
  • A zip tie or coat hanger (wire, not plastic)
  • A water hose
  • Um...water
  • About 15 minutes, then about 20 minutes four hours later.



First we'll cover the DO NOT's.

Do NOT do this:

Or this, even if you saw it on TV and it wasn't fatal. George is a monkey and he does things you can't do.

To begin cover your carb intake. Getting simple green in your engine DOES NOT MAKE YOUR ENGINE A HYBRID.

Then grab your trusty bottle of simple green. Full strength. Mine was confiscated from the wife's laundry room. Dig my stylin flowers and purple top.

Now thoroughly douse the engine, taking care not to splash the carb, the alternator, or the battery. Spray heavily in the nooks and crannies around the water pump (the thing the huge front fan ties to) and intake manifold (top of the engine under the carb) After even a couple of seconds it looks alot better!

I only ended up using half the bottle. In half an hour we'll reapply. Don't forget or you'll not get a very good result.

So wait 1/2 hour and re-spray it again. (redundant?)

Then go have lunch or play monopoly. You have four hours to kill...
