And they would of said it like it’s loose change.

Certainly cheaper than a 4stroke to own and maintain.

I’m doing a G4 carby rebuild tomorrow on father in-laws mower.

I know the motor well as I had a mercury 18hp blue band too. I currently have 23 mowers so you can say I know my way around them.Love the cylinders, victa full crank and twins.

Yes,I’ll probably use it fairly often now but yes it has been a few months.

Cheers mate I’ll buy and fit one when the time comes.

I’ve worked on hundreds of carbs on anything from bikes,boats,garden gear etc and out of all those times probably came across a carby that was gummed up twice.I know for a fact some of them hadn’t run for a decade or more with petrol that was that old in them and ran just by draining bowl and fresh fuel and some new dry rotted fuel lines replaced. I can tell you know that those guys that tell you if you leave fuel in a carby for a month,2 months,3 months…the fuel will evaporate and the carby will gum up are full of it.I’ve had fuel in my boats carb for probably a year or more now (I got lazy and didn’t fire it up every month or so) and I just stripped the carb and it was spotless, yes Spotless!! The fuel was old that’s it. Believe it or not it’s up to you. Never run any carb dry on anything and if you don’t use it for a period of time fire it up periodically to get things circulating and preferably either A put stabiliser in(Apparently) it helps keep fuel fresh for a year or dump it out every few months into garden gear,etc and renew.

I’ll get something like this.

True. I need to get out more I’ve never seen one in real life.one thing I do know is they’ve doubled in price since I looked only 3-4yrs ago.

I’m looking at swing away drawbars I’ve been thinking about for a long time and finally really need as I’m short on space about half a meter for what I need to do. I don’t like the idea of cutting trailer section off and the hinge they have (added flex/wear points) but I don’t have any other option to get the half meter or so I need. Cheers.

Lovely work fellas.

You don’t want to know my thoughts on most “fully qualified engineers mate” I know and have met. As for everything I’ve ever done in my life i ask the questions, listen to or read replies, don’t take anything that’s said as gospel and then finely find out for myself and make the final conclusion on weather it works or not. Cheers.

Here goes nothing.I have my boat running perfect and know there’s nothing wrong with anything on motor or fuel related as I stripped, checked, cleaned and adjusted everything now.I’ll be out next week.

I know.Basic engines will still run bad with crap fuel.

There’s always one in every crowd.😂

I guess it’s like reading restaurant reviews.Make your own decision when you’ve tried it yourself.Will buy some and give it a go and make my own conclusion I guess.Thanks for the comments.

I am talking about adding stabiliser to a full tank of fresh fuel/oil mix to clarify.

You got out there’s and had a crack.Night fishing would by my preference in heat like we’ve been having and save the daytime for lounging around in the pool cracking coldies.You end up like a fried egg in summer on boats my hat goes off to those that put up with it.

Anyone used/using fuel stabilisers in their fuel and what is your experience with it? I want to start using it in my premix outboard fuel instead of tipping fuel into mowers etc. cheers.

Give them to the braindead muppets a few houses up from me to add to their New Years Eve firework collection.

Come fishing with me.You won’t have to worry about any fish keeping rules EVER.We can both say to the officers at the same time…..”No officer, we haven’t caught anything”.But we do have a lot of bait.

Mine make a great cat bed, clothes line, horse blanket shelf, lucerne bail shelf, saddle shelf, the anchor well is great for holding all your odds and ends of horse bits and pieces and whatever. The mrs can think of. Only thing mine on it is my undies hanging from the rod holder when mrs does the washing.

Had a good innings mate.12yrs worth.

I seriously need an spec savers visit.I read the post as cleaning marnies carpet.I thought this will be good.

So you’ve basically replaced everything in 20 yrs?I’d be filthy.😂😂
