I degreased mine with jizer, its perfect for the job, rinses off with water..... easy to use and readily available. Why do you intend to strip the motor? Is there a known problem? Does the motor look clean inside the rocker and sump? If so can you test the compression, if thats ok why strip..
I was just wondering if there was a known problem with the motor, otherwise i would have suggested running it to see if it was ok rather than jumping straight into a strip down, as these motors are very robust. Yes you have to work the jizer a bit for sure, but it rinses off easily. Mine had a lot of dried crud from the chain, all over the frame and motor, took some shifting.. but the jizer did work
I did it the old fashioned way with paraffin to get the serious oily gunk off, then Brillo pads, sandpaper, Dremel, lolly sticks with cloth around to apply Solvol, was hell on the fingers but it worked.CheersDennis
