Bought this little motor last month and have been cleaning it up and getting it ready to go. The white rubber seal around the motor cowling is mottled/stained with what looks like mildew. Have tried Spray 9 and bleach with no luck trying to clean it up.

Any suggestions ?

I've painted them and it stuck fine. I used Rust Oleum.

Good idea. Hadn't thought of that approach. Thanks.

Try a Magic Eraser before you paint it ;)

This is why these forums are so great. So much experience to draw on. I'll try the magic eraser for sure.
