Is the car hard to start when it's hot? Sometimes, the starter just clicks, when you know there is enough power in the battery?
If you can reach the starter, give it a couple of hard taps with a small hammer. Often, it'll start you up and get you home where you can repair the starter. It probably needs some new bushings.
engine fogging oil is probably the best lube there is
the brand i use is "revive" engine fogging oil,
Ever use Film Fluid?? I like it it will turn a rusty part black again
When drilling and tapping aluminum use ordinary rubbing alcohol as a lubricant. Works perfectly. Don't do it while smoking. It can ruin a nice beard
Need to filter gasoline, coolant or other liquids? You probably have some drip coffee filters, right? Drop one into a funnel.
Just don't try to sneak them back into the kitchen when you're done.
i must try that. does it act as a coolant keith ? [ lost my share of eyebrows too ]
Really really great thread. All my fiction book reading has gone to hell since I joined this forum. Am on here much much too often. Had a few tips of my own when I first started reading here but by the time I got to the last page my "Al's Heimers" kicked in and I am now blank. It's too bad everyone lives so far from each other cause these sharing of ideas and stories and the friendships that are started would be lovely or even more enjoyable, rewarding plus many more adjectives in person. At least the internet has made everything and everyone closer and accesable. Thanks for all the enjoyable reading. Am just expanding what someone else already referred to.

is the q-jet on your c3 beyond hope and needs to be replaced ? see if you can find a marine carb. the marine carbs tend to be in better shape than used automotive units. the only difference between the two is in the airhorn [the bowl vent tube is different]. if the airhorn on your carb is in good shape it can be swapped over.
