    Well I had to google that because I have never seen it , but I can tell you that no Kiwi pronounces "deck " like that ........or "caulk". Im pretty sure its a pisstake , there have been a few stupid adds for real deck treatments on TV lately .:):)

    Yeah , it fun to watch them fly round in circles as they loose altitude ...I usually shoot the other wing off before they hit the ground :D

    Starting engines with jump box & dead house batteries

    I dont think anything would be damaged but if the batteries are "push it under the door " flat then removing them and using a smart charger in recovery mode is probly the best option

    We aint allowed them here unless your in a club and then its still a lot of hoops to jump thru . I like the old British .303 No4mk1 , No1 mk3 ,No5 ( jungle carbine ) . and a Churchill sporter

    That might get the piston moving in the bore but you cant undo the damage . You should now consider your engine wounded , and hope the big end is ok You aint the 1st and you wont be the last .

    K&N air filters......yay or nay ?

    I thought that the oil should be fairly evenly soaked into the filter ....like it wicks itself all over , and gotta admit I have previously been guilty of over oiling but only on a carbed motor . I also have some Bel ray water soluble filter oil that I have been using on foam filters...

    No tach,no charging

    yeah , the stator is under the flywheel so you would have to remove that ... and that can be a mission , even getting the nut undone aint easy . You really need a proper puller suitable for the job , and some proper way of holding the flywheel so you can undo the nut . If you dont have a...

    No tach,no charging

    you should be getting 50+vac out of the stator at high revs and a bit below 20vac at idle .... Id say your stator is puckerood . This event , fried reg/rect , is often accompanied with a burnt out stator . Usually the reg shorts out and that causes high current flow in the stator and burns...

    no he didnt , he said he had the meter set to dc whilst testing an ac output , easy mistake , and with a faulty stator who know what the meter could say .......might have been mv , another easy mistake on an auto ranging meter :)

    No tach,no charging

    Yellow wires from the alt are before the reg/rect , but if one had the meter set to dc while testing an ac output the meter would show a reading and depending on the dampening function on a particular meter you may see a reasonably stable reading ....however wrong it was . My Fluke 179 had a...
