Second Mentor meeting 2/18/13

Dear Reader

I met with Mr. Thompson for the second time this past Monday (2/18/13). Due to some previous confusion, we had to re-exchange email address'. Mr. Thompson then viewed my blog, he suggested that I enlarge the photos I've taken. I explained my oil reservoir issue which I blogged about on 2/19/13. My mentor suggested that I try using a router or drill attachment with a brush on the end to break the foam loose, after it's broken loose we decided a vacuum could be the most helpful tool. We narrowed down the obvious fixes that could be done in a week and it came down to this:


  • Carburetor cleaning
  • Oil Reservoir foam removal
  • Ready the spare gas tank I found for use (clean)
  • Drain all the fluids
  • Look for a throttle assembly

I understand having all of these tasks accomplished in one week is unrealistic, so we listed these tasks so I have options. It is likely that I will get stuck or need assistance with a few of these tasks, if that occurs I can simply move on to the next problem that must be solved.
