low hour Kawasaki 'construction' type with a rotted out gas tank I got free. Im thinking about getting the LP universal kit for it. It would certainly solve my continual rust in the petcock, sed-bowl and carb. It would run real big stuff like radial arm or table saw, etc. that the little one cant surge enough for.
I got a briggs generator that was in really good shape for $50 due to rust in the tank. I used electrolysis to clean it. It's been great since. Before that I put a piece of chain in there on a string and shook it around real well.

I guess I should look into that electrolysis thing first to use what I have.
Thanx Brett

Transformer based battery charger, pool PH chemical (cant remember if its plus or minus) and a few scrap pieces of metal. It's very quite easy and cheap.
