YS-91 almost done

[Mike Darr]

Ken, 

After reading your first paragraph, I was getting ready to drive over to your house and smash your dremel with a 16 pound sledge.  I am glad you were just kidding.  Anyway I hope the problem is solved and you get back in the air soon.

Good luck,

Mike Darr

  Well folks, 

  This is what I did, I pulled the head and took it apart just like Mike Darr told me to do.  I didn't even lose the spring retainers.  
  I chucked the stem up in my Dremel and cranked it up on high, having some plumbers sandpaper handy I ran a strip of 100 grit on the stem until it shines like new!  That ought to do it!!  

  Not really, I did just like Verne told me too and used a # 11 and scraped it gently just until the rough stuff was gone.  I wiped the stems with a rag and am ready to re-install the valves.  I am going to use toothpaste to re-seat the valves and my question is, when I'm done with that can I just wipe the excess off or do I need to clean it with something special before re-assembly.

  Thanks in advance,
  Ken
