<VV> Another question...(or two)

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

Here in Canada, Canadian Tire (a hardware/automotive chain) sells a very
handy set of stubby wrenches about 3 inches long. At one end is a
conventional open end and at the other is a box end with a ratchet
mechanism. Great for getting into any tight spaces and especially good for
the turbo nut in question.

Yep, cut a short wrench to reach that bolt.

I used Mercury Marine black outboard spray paint to do my YH and the paint
has held up well for 5 years so far. Carb cleaner removes everything. Take
carb apart, clean with carb cleaner then solvent then soap & water then
water then compressed air (without touching it with your oily fingers), mask
off areas you don't want painted, paint with several light coats.

Hi again

How does one get at the third bolt securing theYH carb? (The one that is 
between the back of the engine compartment and the carb)  Not sure if it 
matters but I have  RAJA turbo.

I thought about cutting a wrench down to gain a little more clearance.

Oh yes the 2nd 'Q'. What can you use to paint a YH carb black?  I found 
out today that whoever painted it last time used paint that comes off 
with carb cleaner!   What a mess.......Also any suggestions on the 
proper way to paint it..?
