#127367 Billmel (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Stains on the Crankcase 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   On my new 07 RS I noticed some brown-ish stains on the crankcase, just below the carberator. The dealer said it was from the carb over-flowing when it floods. Has anyone else had this same issue and how do you clean it off?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #127383 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!!

Just kneel down and... lick it. I'm kidding, of course. Hopefully, it will just wipe off. (If it's ON the crankcase and not embedded or permanently stained) If it's chrome, chrome polish might take it off. "Goo Gone" is something else you might try... Maybe going over it lightly with one of those Magic Erasers, if it's not chrome... Good luck!   Logged     It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour. When you open it, notice which one is happy to see you.

One of the problems is the metal is real rough wright there so you can't really rub it with a rag. The carb cleaner sounds like the first try. It's not really a problem, it just looks bad.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #127397 JDKoss (User) I dunno, press the button and find out...

Expert Boarder Posts: 450 Re:Stains on the Crankcase 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Yea, I have those from mine puking also. This has given me new ways to try to get at it though so thanks for posting it. I really like the toothbrush idea because it is in hard to get at spots. Will try the Hog Wash also... Thanks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
