:From gas leaking onto the engine, some of the engine paint is damaged. We have most of the stuff off the engine now and we need to drop the exhaust because the seals are leaking, so we are think of dropping the engine and giving the engine of the old girl a fresh coat of paint.
Changed my mind. With a bit of gasoline and carb cleaner, I was able to get the engine fairly clean with only a small amount of paint damage showing and that will be under the carbs anyway. Pulling the engine is easy enough, but maybe a step too far for reselling.
