Would graphite powder work?

Guy next to me brought out his rototiller. Ran it to to his mailbox and back. Then fire up his snow blower and made quick work of the chunks. Pure genius!

If you wind up bead blasting, use 35 psi or less. By the way, my J4 magneto experience has uncovered a bad (brand new) Packard 440 spark plug lead.
