Along with the dope question,Parrifin for the chain! When us Americans
first read about dipping our chains in parrifin,we thought,hey that's
candle wax,so 1,000's have melted candles( me Too) and stunk up the
kitchen,to wind up with a chain that would stand at attention when held
out at arms length. It would'nt shift,made a flakey mess,stiff
links,ect. The Europeans were doing like us,dipping them in motor oil,or
gear grease,but,using an old term for petroluem. Also remember when the
Ducati and BMW repair manuels said check the Earth wire! We checked
every thing but a ground wire. Actually this is Prof. Greer's
thought,from the Deep South.
