No probs Gadge. I have been trawling the internet for websites, videos (mostly YouTube) and forums for anything about 3-5hp B&S.

Today I cleaned out the ports, the valve seats and valve stems with a soda blaster in preparation for valve lapping.

Is it safe to use water or kerosene to wash down the block, ports and cylinder. In an attempt to remove any dust, dirt, soda or compound left behind?
