    Vinegar again. Rinse,Baking soda to stop that process, Put oil in it and swish it all around to coat it if you're not using it . Or fill with gas to the top and ride.
    Please help those who cannot help themselves.

    ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.

    I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!

    What he said ^ I used vineager on my klt to clean up my tank, and baking soda and water swished that around to neutralize the vineager, just filled with gas and it's been fine

    Instead of oil after acid/base flush I fill with diesel and drain then gas and ride. Just my preference...
