Yeah, it's a Skorpion, and they sell drop cloths at the dollar store.  :smiley: Unfortunately, Dorcia's kid is having the house remodeled, and.. oh, never mind.
It's been sitting since last Christmas. We were planning on coming out again in March, but that didn't happen.
Fortunately, I filled the tank, put Stabil in it, and drained the carbs.
Unfortunately, I forgot to unhook the USB gizmo on the battery, and it's deader than a Mackrel.  :rolleyes: There went $100 down the drain. I'll not forget that one again. :smiley: :boozing:

you said they lived close to the ocean.  It's in the 1% of the entire state that's not dry as a bone? It's only the battery???  or ....the paint looks flatter than a pancake under an 18 wheeler.

It's drywall dust. The Skorp lives underneath the house in a 50's garage that is too small for a modern car. Somehow, all that dust seemed to gravitate to that area.  :evil:
I wasted some fairly precious water with a gently flowing hose and soft cloth, getting rid of that crap. So far, so good..

I  "hope" so.  :smiley:  What electrical connectors I can see look pretty nasty. I'd think a DeOxit job is in the cards before I even think of putting that overpriced battery in it..  :evil:
