Blue Cod , arguably New Zealands best table fish Legal at 33cm but we dont take them unless they are knockin on 40cm . There is nearly twice the meat for another 7cm , and by that size they are sure to have had at least one breeding cycle .
History would suggest ( particularly in America ) that machines could be made to last longer than the guy working it and at a profit . Now days there are to many freeloaders clipping the ticket , people or organisations injecting themselves into the process and then demanding payment . Im...
The only bad deal I have had was 2023 new Poozuki 6hp 4 stroke .
The dealer insisted on a pre sale service which took 2 days ( silly me , I shouldnt have paid up front ) . Got it home and put it in a tub for a bit of a run prior to hitting the high seas . 1st thing I noticed was that the...
Yeah , funny that some knobby gits think they are saving the world but in reality they are putting more demands on coal fired ( we have them here too ) power stations and actually making things worse for the world .
I like solar , In my new garden shed its way cheaper ( Yay Temu ) for me to...
I would think the coils would be the same for a 9.5 and 18hp , within reason a spark is a spark . The solid copper plug wires are on ebay but I think any good auto sparkie should have some . The idea behind the goo is to provide a bit of dielectric strength just to stop sparks from...
Another AI thing is some of the captions on tv where its obvious that AI is converting voice to written when we are told that someone rang "nine hundred and eleven" and not 911 or when the written captions are non sensible , like its miss-heard what was said and then writes what it...
A .040" or 1mm spark on the plug while holding plug against the block is one thing but when put under 125-ish psi compression (thats at cranking speed but effectively even higher when engine is running ) makes it much harder for ignition to fire . This is why knowledgeable people will tell...
Im trying to figure out how long an average person would remain in shocked silence upon being asked that , and then how long it would take to decide if it was even safe to answer , and then to actually think of something to say ............ yeah 5 mins aint bad 😐
My old muffs had gone a bit hard and didnt seal on the lower unit very well . Yep turning them 90 deg may or may not help .
My new muffs have a hose connection on each side , old ones only fed from one side , which helped . I also cut a piece of garden hose so its just long enough to go...
Often the hose supplying the muffs doesnt have enough oomph to prime the pump . When you dunk it in the water at the ramp the water level is higher than the pump and it primes and pees. Some engines have another intake just above the prop on the underside of the cavitation plate and on the...
Nah , They do all the local small engines and are well set up for small bores , just like everything else in New Zealand ....." you want what ? bend over and drop your pants "
