swoopNZ Excellent advice. Thanks

19Fordy; Thanks all good advice. Appreciate it very much.

deuce_roadster Thank you. You have shed light where it needed to be shed! Knowing what is behind there and knowing I will not have to put a wrench on it builds my confidence level up to a point where I now think I will give it a shot. I will get an assistant to help as I am only 18 years...

This is what I would do EXCEPT I would use some MARINE gas with oil mixed in from my two stroke outboard engine and pour that down the carb. VGG trick that Derek uses on cars sitting for umpteen years. Slainte

aussie merc Thank you so much for this positive feedback. I will update the instructions to my self. Your advice is truly appreciated.

nelsb01 Anyone doing this, is doing it at their own risk and peril. You are absolutely correct that "sparks" will fly when I polarize the generator by touching the VR's "F" Field wire to the "B" post on the VR. That is how the Ginny gets polarized. Or re-polarized is maybe the correct term...

Coop Dead on Balls Accurate. This was my chief concern until I researched the subject. Thanks for the comment!
