    I read a workshop manual (for the 3S-GE, not the 3S-FE of this corona). It says that a SST is needed to trip the terminals you mentioned. Can a DIY apparatus or tool be used instead? Or does it really have to be an SST?




    Also the gas tank was supposedly cleaned inside. Drained of the gas and dirt particles removed from inside. I'm not sure how they cleaned it or what method they used.
