I was introduced to this product by some competitive high power target shooters. This is now the only product I use to get fouling out of the shotgun bore and for a soak in the rifle bores. Turns out it also work well for its intended use as a penetrating oil. However there is a downside to this IT TAKES TIME TO WORK.....I just used it again on another motor. Put it on the area, tap withe metallic object to set up vibration and walk away for a week....exhaust bolts come out, Dyna Float bolts come out, flywheel pops off(after beating the crap out of the puller)...
We're getting closer to startup. Carbs are finished and in, distributor is in and will have Link-n-Sync done soon.
This is the old gal the Merc left the showroom with in 63'. A 63' Starcraft Jet Star. Pulled the trailer for sandblasting today......and then she gets a rework.

The Jet Star restoration will be a year long project.
New transom, floor, carpet, seats and dash will come before paint and trim. I did find an original era AirGuide flush mount compass and speedometer for her.
Glad to hear that!
My goal is to put the information about the White Merc 500 out there so others can find it and learn what not to do...... Unfortunately my entire flotilla is in drydock. Gotta get one seaworthy so I can go fishin, next 500 is on hold till winter.
Gas/oil mix at 50:1 or even 40:1 is good for the older motor. I believe it's best to clean or replace fouled plugs than do a rebuild. Use a good grade of outboard oil from Castrol or Quaker State.
Good work, bgc. :thumb:
