[C38] Thanks to all who responded to "difficulty starting"

Rustoleum makes a copper colored rust prevention paint that almost exactly 
duplicates the original color of our Universal engines.

You can buy this paint at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.

Rustoleum also makes a fish oil primer for heavily rusted metals you could 
prime the engine with first but it won't have the durability and hardness of 
the regular Rustoleum used alone if you wire brush and prep the metal well 
before you paint.
