That would be corrosion. The plug electrodes are made of copper, and copper corrodes green when wet.

do you think water in cylinder? That is why it is seized? or just age/condensation?

We have no way to know.... First step is free it up... THEN we find out if there are other issues.

HOPEFULLY just a little condensation.... And HOPEFULLY it breaks free surprisingly easily with minimal rust.

NO WAY NO HOW NO....

200 gallons of good gas plus 10 gallons of bad gas equals 210 gallons of bad gas...

get rid of ALL of it.


That said awesome that she's free now.... hopefully your good luck continues

Default Bad Gas

going back at it today.. new starter(bought 2,1 Back up), rotor, cap, wires, plugs. drained gas 100%..also new oil sending switch...questions.. I see a small amount of dirt particles in bottom of gas tank.. not good for carb. should I add gas and try and suck it out or will filter filter it out?

Default Starter

was able to get out there for a few hours.. I got the starter in after a few hours.it was a pain in arse to get to the bolts. I am not a mechanic, but geez got to be a easier way. Maybe an air rachet? got it bolted in, hooked up wires, and it turned right over.... nice. nasty looking oil shot out of cylinders. dumped some seafoam in carb, few 1/4 turns to get seafoam in it,let it sit for a few, then few more 1/4 turns.. flush out cylinders...did this several times before calling it quits for day. tomorrow.. oil sending switch, wires plugs cap...gas

how do I attack the particles in gas tank?? I still have sending unit out, waiting to install with new gasket
