hit it with a heatgun and scrape it up with a metal putty knife. Once most of it is off, experiment with solvents (acetone, brakleen, xylol, denatured alcohol... I'd bet on acetone) until it comes up using a stiff bristle brush and then old rags.
I used a flat razor blade to scrape it up, then sprayed brakeclean on the left over glue, then sat in the truck with the windows up and talked to the little blue guy helping me for about 10 minutes before he left in a rocket ship leaving a rainbow trail of smoke.

i was scouring the clist for some new outboards to work on...i found a guy posting a 9.9 horse and actually advertised that it had "good even 80psi in both cylinders" and he was already overpriced for a good motor...thats like saying i have a great set of tires for sale...they have a good even 1/32 of tread on them. doh
Boat engines = Greek to me. You could tell me they have low compression in case of hydrolocking and while skeptical, I would take your word for it since I know nothing about them.
Though I'm not an educated person on boat engines, if I were buying, I would make sure to ask someone who knows.
Cindy and I saw what we expected to be a deadly accident. We were heading west on I-40 in New Mexico, in the jeep towing the travel trailer when some kid in an Escort wagon passed us doing at least 80, just as he was falling asleep. We watched him slowly drift into the median strip, which must have awakened him. He cut the wheel and rolled it a couple times sideways then end over end. Had I not been on the brakes he might have landed on top of the jeep, or the camper, it was that high in the air.
He came to a stop upside down on the shoulder. I stopped a safe distance away, grabbed the first aid kit and fire extinguisher, and ran up there, fully expecting to see severed limbs, blood all over, etc. When I got there he was already crawling out of the car, and didn't look like he was going to need more than a dozen stitches. A nurse was among the next couple people who stopped, so we went on our way.
When I was a kid, proabably aruond 12-14 yo, my step father was a police officer for Joplin, MO. I went on a ride along on multiple occassions and the first time I had seen a fatal accident in person was when we arrived to the scene of an accident where a car full of teenage kids were driving at a high rate of speed and went under a semi trailer. It was almost like in the movies where the top half of the vehicle was sheered off....it was the most gruesome sight I have ever seen to date and wont ever forget it. There was no screaming, because the part of their bodies was back down the road with the top half of the vehicle. uke:
Not to drag this thread back down, but I just got caught up from this morning. I worked a wreck a few weeks ago similar to ^^^. All 6 people inside died from smoke inhalation - 3 adults, 2 small kids, 1 unborn. There was a lot of screaming. Nothing like staring at a melted car seat while you're loading up what's left of the car on a rollback. Worst wreck the county has ever seen; a semi loaded with 42,000lbs of Epsom salt doesn't stop quickly.

So, I ordered up a tactical bolt knob for my rifle. I know I was just talking about trading it in or selling it, and that's still a possibility, but I would still be getting another if I don't keep this one.
my worst wreck while driving wrecker what's a 16 year old girl/new driver was driving a malibu and she pulled out in front of the suburban, the suburban hit the passenger side of the car and killed her mother. the girl lived. it's hard to imagine the mental anguish that girl is living with.
