[SEL] Maytag questions

[Curt Holland]

Have a few questions for you Maytag experts:

1) What is a good way to brighten the aluminum flywheel on a Maytag? I 
used air conditioning fin cleaning acid and this was a good start but it 
is not brilliant shiny yet.

2) On a twin, what is/are the correct colors for each piece supposed to be?

3) At the outboard edge of the main bearing/bushings is something that 
looks like it may have been a seal at one time. Are there seals/felt or 
something that is supposed to be there?

4) Which way is the crown on the pistons to be oriented? When I took it 
apart one had the slope facing the exhaust port the other facing the 
intake port. Bet that didn't run well!

5) What is a good method to attach one of these to the skids?

6) Is there supposed to be a gasket between the bottom of the crankcase 
and the top of the gas tank?

7) What is the 1/4 pipe plug in the top of the crankcase for?

Thanks,
Curt Holland
