  • I am rebuilding a vintage puch moped and the gas tank was really gross and rusty. I used evaporust to clean it up and redkote to seal it. I did not need to use redkote, but I really love it.

    Short, concise and informative. I wish all videos on youtube would follow this formula.

      @@Corn-ped because its always on when moped is running and i can yell louder then it lol im planning on hardwiring my puch just scared to send it (yes i know its pretty simple) and i been watching your video "12v upgrade and complete wiring puch magnum rebuild pt 5" for inspiration. ive got a 77 puch maxi sport with a bosh 6 wire magneto, seems easy. just ground a lot of things and good to go, i want just a running headlight/tail light and a kill switch

      @@fatherkai3865 Ususally its a short in the switch. You could replace the switch to test it. or open it up and see if there is a contact that is bent. Usually its a thin piece of metal that looses its spring. You can also just connect the horn wires and not have a horn and yell.

    I love evaporust and redkote too. The only thing I'd do differently is to degrease the tank before using evaporust. Since the evaporust is water based it can't get past oily sludge, and that can be a problem for any coating. The diesel probably did a good job with that? I'm not sure I haven't used it as a cleaner.
    I also thin the redkote with acetone to make it flow better; the redkote instructions say you can go up to 20% acetone by volume.

      And yeah, the ability to dissolve the redkote coating with MEK if something DOES go wrong is great!

      Degreasing is a good tip! I also thought it was thinner then it was haha.

      True that I've used vinegar it's it's ok price haven't ever tried muriatic I'm afraid I'd screw it up somehow and burn a hole in the tank.

    Diesel or petrol to clean the tank? And can we not coat it and leave it at that, if the tank is always full of petrol?

    • @Corn-ped
      @Corn-ped  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah you could stop after the evaporust and throw gas in there. This one did not need to be coated.

      Could be an air leak? Or your clutch could be grabbing.
