btw @uk_exile franken-gps works fine. thanks again

Awesome the pay it forward GPS lives again. If a buy the 'johnson' I might seek a favour on how to improve the electrics ;-)

lol yeah mate… it never stops

The misses reckoned “my Johnson “ was small….. it was a 40hp I believe on the back of a 4m tinney….. it ran bloody great,but that was donks ago ,(30 years reckon)… so I really can’t comment on the reliability of them except for that….. these days j have Hondas and yammys…. And those buggars are terrific!!!……

But the jokes about your “Johnson”…. Yeah mate .. every boatie should know one

It sold before I got a chance to travel and view. Bugger. The search continues........

biggest enemy of the two strokes is stale fuel we used to run a product called stabil in our mix two stroke fuel conditioner other brands same job but essential and work -of cause the ones with a seperate tank for two stroke oil not the same problems as premix
