Hello, Now, my next problem. I apparently have a flywheel that is starting to loosen up. It only has what looks to be a tapered key. The key moves within the...

Anybody have any information or suggestions on cleaning that battleship linoleum on the floorboards and running boards? I'm reluctant to just dump plain soap...
