Jim, Thank you for the welcome. Bob, I have been reading your posts on europaowners.org and have found your conversion album most helpful in picturing what I need to do. What was even funnier was I read your posts before I went down to Bud's shop and then when I walked in the room with the tile floor I knew that is where your conversion was done! It's a good thing I don't live near Bud, I believe I would be bugging him all the time. I could spend hours just looking around. Steve, I live in Trussville, AL just to the East of Birmingham.

What I saw was severe corrosion on the alloy stubs on the Rotax and radiato r,and inside the cadmium plated steel Tee piece used to splice the carb' he ater into the system [ as in red rust on the steel and flaking white ''powd er'' on the alloy] ? I have never been convinced about this Evans NFG, will try to get the owner to go to 50/50 antifreeze/water.....................
