Hi Steve and everyone.
The term ''gasoline'' is not used in Australia. Here down under we use
the term ''petrol'' for the automobile  fuel.
 
Does the term ''gasoline''  refer to leaded petrol  or unleaded petrol
or both ?
Is there any potential problem with residue left behind when using
leaded petrol to clean the TG  or is it better to use unleaded petrol ?

 
How safe is kerosene and mineral turpentine to clean the TG ?
 
Am I correct in my assumption that acetone will melt the enamel of the
pickup wires and the motor wires and that it  will melt the pickup
bobbins and the plastic oil funnels and also damage the TG capacitor's
plastic casings ?
Thank you in advance for a reply.
All the best.
Kon
