[SEL] IDEAL

[Joseph L Betz]

Hi List,

The other day, I decided to take a whack at getting the IDEAL apart
again.

Got the inspection plate off the hopper and found an abandonded mouse
nest.
Cleaned out the hopper real good and found that it has been welded up the
side.

I also managed to get the fuel pump off in one piece but the check balls
seem to be rusted tight.  We'll see what penetrating oil will do for
that.  The tube from the fuel pump into the base is still stuck in the
base.  I blew air into the base oposite the fuel pump and created a mud
fountain that reached the ceiling.

As before, the crank & gears & valves all rusted away, or into one piece.
 The more I work on this thing - the more I see an IDEAL mail box post.

Bummer !!!
