Thanks, Chaz, Rita, and Jim. I am sorry if I missed posts of other

I will try scrubbing and WD-40, but I must note that these tensioners
have very irregular surface and are therefore hard to scrub. A
chemical solution would be preferable, but I will give steel wool a
chance.

I was going to suggest steel wool and wd-40. I use that to keep the
bare-metal valve cover on my vintage car rust-free. Use it on the
generator, too.
