No problem!!
I still think the air chisel is the right choice with the right bit, and I also used painter's tape and a terry cloth on body just to be safe, but didn't need it.

She has been sitting a while and has all new ignition and idles fine, but under load she cuts out and pops. I can tell some kind of leakage on the top plate of the carb and I am t...
