Ivans, So, since you bought it, you haven't serviced it ? And your only going on a previous owners word it was serviced a year ago ? It's due for a full service mate, I would be getting it done by someone properly first. As far as changing the impeller, I spent 3 years servicing 2 strokes as a job, ...

Hi Drop bear, they did make a 4 cylinder 2 stroke 40, right up to the mid 90's, then they changed them to a 3 cylinder. there was a marina version as well and a 50 hp. It's just that serial number doesn't marry up. It could have well been changed if it's the sump plug. I believe the last models were...

Perfectly explained Jamie, thanks. I was reading a bit on the topic, but most discussions I was reading turned into huge debates, from blokes that were experts, which didn't really speak in lay mans terms, if you follow. LOL But yep, understand what you were saying, cheers. As I mentioned, I know I'...

It's time for you to enter the 21 century, get yourself down to Aldi, ask the wonderful staff to sort you out with one of those pod machines, immediately. Pr...

I'm with you Duck, Have a machine at home, have my local jaunt, which has the best coffee in town. I generally get my second heart starter by 10.30 in the morning, large, double shot, with 1/2 a sugar.........mmmmm Bugs, There's nothing like slapping the word "international" on a tin of floor sweepi...

wooh wooh guys, lets not inundate the Bugs with to much information at the start of his new "journey", little steps. :tu: Taste is his first step. Imagine, for instance , being on a diet of gravy beef and cabbage for 2 years, the move from instant, to a gourmet beans will be life changing. Lets not ...

Bugs, the Borg famously said, resistance is futile, I believe Spock was the first to transgress......

Once my boat is back on the water, with said coffee machine installed, an invite may be thrown your way.....
A supervised transition is called for here me thinks.....
