New to Me, Cox Engine
SteveM Sun Dec 30, 2018 9:12 am
While searching ebay I found this little guy.
Immediately I was taken back to my childhood home, my Dad, and the model I once owned.
I can't remember the exact model, but I do remember the screen was installed.
Similar to this, (not my model)
The engine was stuck, so I soaked in Marvel Mystery Oil for 24 hrs, then a quick boil on the stove and he freed up.
Next a bath in Simple Green and a scrub with a stiff toothbrush. WD-40 to finish up...
The backplate, heat shield, Needle Valve, gaskets and screws came from my parts.
(Not sure if the backplate should have a screen installed, as this is the type I chose...)
All in all I am very happy with the outcome...
Thanks for looking

Thanks Bob,
Actually, I learned of Marvel MO and heating the engine, to free up, from reading your posts.
So many thanks to you!

It's nice to know that someone actually reads my stuff.
I thought your method looked familiar. Be careful of the WD40, if left in quantity it will gum up your engine over time. I learned that many years ago the hard way. I use Remoil liberally then blow out with compressed air, then follow with a few drops of after run oil in the exhaust ports and venturi, then flip over several times.

I use the WD-40, for lack of a better word, polish.
I use 3 in 1 oil in the ports, crank and bottom of piston.
3 in 1 was recommended in one of the instruction manuals I had as a child. Have always used this...
