Snowmobile engines and exhausts tend to get all rusty after a couple years, they live in a difficult environment after all. That said I know a guy who, every spring soaks the whole engine in WD40 as part of his summerizing (like winterizing but backwards) procedure. His machines always look like new under the hood. The only machine I've ever seen that still had all the paint on the exhaust after a couple seasons riding was one of his.

My in-laws are quite fond of it at the Nantucket house, which is right close to the water, and it gets a lot of salt spray and air, so stuff tends to corrode and seize up. They spray that stuff all over everything, and over time the gunk builds up and it does not move anyway. I think I took some LPS or light spray lube of some sort one time, and the various family members told me it was no good. Go figure. Not my headache except every coupla years if I get there, so I did not fight it. --R _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
