Re: Hot Babe Bee
Not sure about what you mean hot, but looks rather like it is on ice.....

Re: Hot Babe Bee
Bee..ing me.. my mind went to a hot-cleaning/un-sticking method to try on an engine. I wonder whether heating the parts (less anything plastic) using a heat-gun, followed by dipping into a container of ethylene glycol might work? Would it cause the glycol to flash-penetrate between the parts.. as opposed to slowly heating for hours, in a crock-pot bath?
I don't have any stuck engines.. or else I'd try it. I have a new heat gun that I've never used. It has dual temp. 750/1000F (400/540C) settings. Perhaps wrap a wire around the prop-screw with a loop for holding the engine with a gloved finger.. while turning in the air to heat evenly (just hot to the touch to start with).. followed immediately with the glycol bath/dip. Check in a minute, or as soon as cool enough to handle.. to see if anything's loosened. Is this a bad idea for any reason?

Re: Hot Babe Bee
I've never had to use anything except heat from a Goodwill blow dryer to loosen up stuck parts and fuel to clean the parts. The only time I have problems is with .010 and .020 glow heads. I always seem to strip out the tops.
