Re: Engine dies out
I am sure you are right, but here in Norway I have only seen the CRC 5-56
and wd-40, at the local store WD 40 is half price of CRC 5-56 . I will look
for ACF-50 in the future. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Engine dies out
WD40 sux as a contact cleaner. Causes more trouble than it fixes.

Jimmie did pass the time by typing:

Ahyup.. it just leaves goo that attracts more dirt.
Use a good contact cleaner like the ones made by econoline
but keep it well away from paint and use gloves, the stuff
will remove oil from anything and that includes your skin.
Best cleaning method is to put a bag around what your spraying
and some paper towels in the bottom of the bag. Spray in the
bag and use an old toothbrush to scrub the contacts.
The bag will keep any splatter away from where you don't need
it.
Always wear proper eye protection!
