[R-390] Finally!!!

[Jim Brannigan]

Thanks Bob,
Gasoline or Kerosene are out since the workshop also houses the oil burner.
I keep forgetting about WD-40.  It is a good solvent and sure makes fast
work of removing tar blobs on the car.  Perhaps WD-40 to remove the gunk and
alcohol to remove the residual WD-40.

I was looking at the AC cord connection.  Is it accepted practice to attach
the neutral (green) wire to one of the studs that is used to secure the
cover over the filter input?
