[Ducati] Seized 125 Bronco

[D888SPOLTD at aol.com]

As long as I remember my father has sworn about this stuff and every once  in 
a while it bears fruit.  From working on a VW when I was in high school  to 
restoring compression to acceptable limits on the O-230 in our lil' Grumman  
aircraft postponing a need for overhaul by many hundreds of hours.  I don't  
know what's in the stuff but it's often an effective treatment, for a while at  
least.
