Although the weather in Ogden on Saturday was like a summer day (we hit a high of 27 degrees - 85 degreed Farenheit), I spent most of the day in the garage tinkering with the Westy. My theory was that the changer was gummed up, since there was no liquid oil in it. I gave it a swill out with Varsol (a solvent cleaner sold here in Canada); what came out was UGLY! I gave it another treatment, leaving the Varsol to soak, then dumped it out. I then poured in some light oil (non-detergent, of course) and..... The pulleys started to turn and the shifter arm moved in and out again! So, I have gotten over one of the three big hurdles with this machine! Now, I still have to get the timer repaired and find the door boot... Hubby is already advising me that I am not bringing the finished appliance into the house (Yeah, right!!)... lol |

We still have Varsol available in Brazil (from Esso). If you want (and pay for the shipping), I can send you some cans. |
