Hey Bryan, Not real familiar with the 2182 electrical woes but am
recently familiar with big greasy cleanup on engine and chassis of
another tractor. I marked and unhooked all the wiring that I felt
comfortable doing that with. All the open plugs and wire ends I wrapped
in plastic and tied them with tie wire. I had engine out so it was a little
different but not really. All open holes like oil lines, carb, exhaust ports etc
I did the same as the wire except added a little insurance with Gorilla tape..
I soaked the whole deal with stout batch of Simple Green for a couple days
off and on. Took it all outside, engine today on balmy 28 degree day and
hosed er down with the power washer. When I took all the wrappings off
it was plum dry, whew. Not sure that was really what you were looking for
but since it was real fresh in my mind thought I would throw it out there.
Good luck.
Ken
