Engine Cleaning

[jiggerk]

My G-16 engine area is getting real dusty from running around our campground. Can I rinse the area with a water hose or should I use an air hose on it ?

i rinse mine off with water but make sure ur engine is not "HOT" and cover ur carb up, but both should work very well

I drown mine with water all the time, never had a problem. I don't cover anything.
Like Nitro said, just not hot!!

I washed the snot out of mine all the time, after a while I did figure out that you can get water in the gas cap on a G9....and then it don't run in the winter. Now I don't hit the gas cap but everything else under it, and run some drygas once in a while, no problems.

Has anyone used Gunk engine cleaner on their motor?

[sho305]

I never have, the dust seems to wash right off....though I suppose I would not eat off of it . I have used a pressure washer. The fun part is doing a holeshot with wet clutches. I have actually seriously considered installing a window washer pump/tank from a car so I could hit the button and spray water on the belt and do a holeshot. I always drive mine some after a wash to heat the motor and drive out any water from inside the generator/etc.

I use Gunk engine cleaner all the time on all kinds of engines, does a good job. Will kill the grass though so don't do it in the front yard.

Just go get some super clean or purpel power, it works the best for the application.

Also if you go get a magic eraser and spay your seats with the super clean and use the eraser to scrub your seats they look better than new.

I been using waterless hand cleaner with pumice to get the seats clean. I use bleach on the rest of the cart, just mix some in a sprayer about 25% and spray it on, blast it off with the hose. Works nice on the house too. But my cart is not painted either.
