[TowerTalk] WD-40

[w3svj@juno.com]

I guess we always used and thought of WD-40 as a penetrant and very light
duty/temporary lubricant. However, W3MAC told me many years ago that
WD-40 was THE starting "fluid" to use on small engines. Apparently the
standard heavy duty ether based stuff is ok on a big block but he
suggested that it was too much for a small cylinder and besides the
lubricant that carried along with the propellent of WD-40 was quite
beneficial to the cylinder walls/rings for small engine on start up. Not
much relationship to towers but it sure works great on Field Day
generators.

73 de Nate, W3SVJ, in Pittsburgh where it's not so smokey anymore.
