The WD-40 did work , but not first . I sprayed and wiggled tried all 3 keys no good so I tried the doors and hatch then came back and it worked . As you can see the motor looks a lot better with out the nuts . Yes you know I have to at least try to start her before pulling the motor . The PO said the motor had a noise . The brakes feel firm , the clutch and tranny feel good . I'm going to get some engine cleaner and battery today .

Well I started the bus this afternoon , But only if I poor gas down the S-pipe . Don't know if the pump is bad or power supply . The PO said the motor had a noise , So far I hear just the lifters and that's after starting 4 times .

My suggestion is to not run it to long without taking the tins off first. Mice have a tendency to make nests where you cant see and potentialy destroy your engine. Ive seen it on several of the engines that I have or have had, and on other peoples also.

Glen,
I don't know where you live. I can meet you in Portage, in front of Barnes & Noble bookstore.
Please let me know.
Aki

I think that I got the last NUT out of the engine area (I Think) ? .The under side has been undercoated , I have also power washed the engine next let some degreaser soak for a while and rinse . Then a tune up .
