I pulled the tank and carb today. The gas appeared very oily as if all the gas had evaporated leaving behind the 2-stroke oil - but there was over a gallon of gas in the tank so some gas was there. There did not appear to be an lacquer buildup.
The foam air filter disintegrated on removal. The airbox has a thick layer of oil/dirt on the bottom. I tried to clean it and it doesn't look too bad but may decide to remove the airbox and find a dip tank.
The carb looks good with no residue on it. I'll disassemble and clean it tomorrow. The hoses are very brittle so I'll replace those while I'm at it.
I doubt I'll try to start it tomorrow since the air filter is gone.
I was unable get the old avatars reimported. Regretfully, you will have to upload your avatar again. Please report any issues here,.

Just honing my monkey style as much as I can from watching stuff and not actually doing.
I'm ready for the doing now.

Re: Wasp progress report
Wingfixer has taken the tie rod to his shop to extract the broken heim joint shaft. 
We tried to do that at my place but decided some heat was necessary so we wouldn't also have to extract a broken easy out!
The new (correct) heim joints are in and I also ordered security washers - small cost for a little extra safety.
I have a complete hose set on order.
Am waiting for Mr Hare to get me prices on new filters.
Then I reassemble and kick the b*tch over!
