    Nobody fishing?

    😃One thing I can assure you is that I am NOT going to be manually closing the bail....may as well use a hand line.😁 The spool is def not over full ...now as I have lost about 50m of line offa it in the last couple of days and I think it only held about 100m .

    No spark 55 HP Evinrude triumph 1969

    This is probly a long shot but some of those under flywheel ignitions rely on the locating of the flywheel on the crankshaft to be spot on , and if I am understanding you the flywheel key has some slop so its no locating the flywheel precisely on the crankshaft. When the magnets in the flywheel...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Yeah it is . Nature sure does have things sorted when it comes to seed dispersal . There are a couple of places on the way to my parents that have acres of sunflowers growing. Local girl does a program on TV farming stuff just on the Queenstown side of the Crown Range......"Nadia's Farm" if...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Well I had another look at supermarket and one frozen ,about 10" long vacuum sealed was 12 bucks and I couldnt see and no one could tell me if it was gutted or gilled or even scaled so I left it there.

    Old 4hp Evinrude takes a nap

    Overheating can also cause the piston rings to loose tension which wont help compression 🙂

    Nobody fishing?

    I think that....... The drag knob sides are cylindrical and as I cast the line the braid prescribes an acr and when I wind as the bail arm goes over there is enough slack line to allow the 1st loop to wind around the knob ...if I had noticed at this point I could save it but......so it winds...

    Ha ,last time I used grow bags it was a 60 kg coal sack filled with super dirt , used to scramble/crawl into the middle of a big gorse ( gorse is the poxiest prickliest bush ever)bush and put the bag over a main branch so as to pin it to the ground and open a space in the middle of the bush ...

    Motor support racks

    As wide as you need to fit the 3 motors ,I mean its not like they are going to fall over sideways with the 3 side by side on the same rack. And yeah , why one rack for all three ? Make them harder to move and need a bigger single area .

    Oil alarm beeping at low RPM

    1st thing I would do is to get a gauge and measure the oil pressure . Low oil pressure at idle can be a sign of bad things and you would want to know . It could also be the warning beeper playing up , either way a oil pressure test will tell you
