Horses for courses, I have a basic understanding of how the magic pixies get from the key to the spark plug or the battery to the sounder but finding a fault I could probably do maybe if I am lucky but generally would rather get the experts in and know its sorted.;)Quote:

I think I have 2.65nm per kg of snapper vers fuel burn.... ;)Quote:

Similar fuel economy with my motor 1.6km / l (best case senario) trolling cripples me though as my OB is a older triple carb'ed Yamaha SWS 2 stroke,Quote:
