But as soon as it hit rubber it would insantaneously turn to goo. I've contacted Napa and they look at me like I'm crazy and my Dad doesn't remember the part #. Anyone here, by chance, happen to know what the heck I'm talking about? :confused:
thanks,

I use EasyOff oven cleaner to remove it with success. I have a friend that says he had success using some sort of heat gun (??) to soften and scrape it off. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | Heat gun - hair dryer that's been using steroids. Great tool for many things, I use mine to do heat-shrink tubing on wiring all the time. I think I paid $12 for it at Harbor Freight. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 85 | Hi Jerry,
How long did you leave the easy off on?
I know this is unrelated, but how are the carter/webbers working? I'm firing mine up for the first time today.
Have a good one,

The CW carbs are fine now that I figured out the choke. Everything is apart again. The intake started to leak so I took it off. The headers went to JetHot Coatings and I'm detailing everything under the hood. Someday I'll enjoy this thing. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 30 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 30 | Get yourself a Fein MultiMaster. It will be the best tool you will ever buy. Not only will it remove undercoating like butter, it will cut sheet metal, composites and wood, remove stubborn gaskets, detail sand, and rasp, all without rotating or reciprocating blades. No handyman should be without one. Fein is listed in the vendor section under tools. | | |
