    How to decarbon a 4 stroke

    Its not wether you should , coz a bit of sea foam or whatev isnt going to hurt at the least , its just debatable wether you need to . Tother hand its relatively cheap and easy and may well have a positive effect . :)

    How to decarbon a 4 stroke

    Used to be a regular thing , specially on 2 strokes , that one had to de carbon things as the fuels and oils of the old days were not so clean burning .

    How to decarbon a 4 stroke

    A modern 4 stroke should not need de-carboning ..........unless is burning oil for some reason ( and then de-carboning would be the least of your problems ) or if someone has sugared your tank . If , like me , you just want to love your motor a bit there are other worthwhile things you can...

    I have never seen those for sale here ( doesnt mean they are not ) but they look the biz for kids when there isnt to much distance involved.......be a lot less hooks in ear lobes or poked out eyes than if they're waving a 5 foot rod round :LOL:. I think those kids are lucky to have you around

    Absolutely , specially if you have had it so long they dont make them any more ( Jensen insect spinner )The one on the left isnt attached to the line , just there to see . The rod and reel are Temu specials and so far Im happy . the reel is a 1000 size ( the paper envelope is A4 for scale )

    Trail camera issues fixed, now pics from them ...

    They sure can jump . I watched two guys on quads flat out chasing a stag across a paddock as I drove down the road parallel to them, when the quads hit the brakes and give up the chase , twas then I realised the stag had cleared the fence at the end of the paddock without even braking stride.

    Some of that good old stuff is making a come back . The vinyl boys are going retro on their gear too . Its getting hard to find a decent quality old turn table here now and an equivalent new one can set you back thousands . My Denon amps and CD player must be getting on 40 years now.

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    You could fit a regulator to any charging system that doesnt have one . I use US made Motobatt AGM batteries on my quads and motorbikes . Standard charging systems , and I have just worked out one of them is knocking on 20 years old, and still working fine .

    How long does it take to change power heads

    Dude , if you read my 1st post I explained just how I did it in about 40 mins , admittedly I was 100% sure that there were no other problems ( I did say it was a new rebuild ) so there was no complications , and I have done it a couple of times prior . If your smart there is no return work that...
