I sent him a SMS . so should be all good

I want to say that I second that...and am in total agreement with Musty... Thank you again Huey.

Hi check my post johnson 70hp 98 alarm in boating, the second answer is what you want to read,from copafisher cheers jonny

Cool love to go for a fish...My boat is a "piece of work in progress"...saving for a service..better make it yours,unless you want to swim home!!!!!! We should, drink beer,down the London and prepare for the weekend .. I think that you could really teach me a thing or too now

Well a huge THANK YOU to Huey again , just like his slogan says "you cant beat experience" yes I had the wrong heat range in there that explains the plug condition and poor idle so I went back to Repco swapped the plugs for the right ones . Champion QL77JC4 , and wait for it I am $33 better off.... what a win win situation I will water test soon....cheers mate I cant wait to meet you....... Jonny

I bought the plugs at Repco or maybe I should call them "RIPPOFFCO" but they are NGK.. which are the only plugs that I run in my cars and bikes... plug no.BPZ8HS-10 and they were what were in the motor, and what were recommended in the book...I have never had a lot of luck with champion and alike.!!!! Can I buy the HE cables locally or would you have to order ??? I dont want to mess up the dog gear in my gearbox... THe prior owner left my with a full Xd25 that I would like to use up....bad Idea ????

Thanx Huey, what are "HE cables" and how much for a pair ? Wow plugs are expensive nearly $20 each, mine didn;t look too bad ,as in no worn electrodes, but they were wet and pretty black, but the boat runs well !!!! The guy that I bought the boat from ,sold it with a full tank ,, WOW nice bloke with the price of petrol at the moment, and he has been running it on XD25 at 50/1 it looks a bit rich...???????????

Well done Tobe....

Thank you all . I will having a really close look,on the weekend,and checking all your wonderful replies... I really do want to go and see Huey,when I have the funds to do so, so until then I will try and do all the menial jobs myself, thinking of replacing all the fuel lines,primer bulb ect . New plugs, the inline fuel filter doesn't look too new either. But on the good side she was doing 32 knots in a slight chop..at 5500 WOT most satisfying The gearbox,forward reverse on the control box could do with an adjustment, a bit draggy,long and vague... NEXT !!!!!!!!!!! Here she is ....

Thanx for your replies....much appreciated I will lube up...and put a liter of cheapo 2 two stroke in the old tank to see if that fixes my odd beep... I will be saving up ,for a visit to Huey to give it a once over ,after I pay my Christmas credit card debts off , maybe in the next month !!!!!!!!!!!!!! heres hoping, I realize that a new second hand boat is always , an on going saga... I just need a bit of peace of mind ,to enjoy her... for the time being.. I will be investigating why she is a bit lumpy at trolling speed next....any ideas ?? thanx jonny

Hi, Just took my new boat out for its first run,a little bit scary as the steering had froze as I was backing out from the boat ramp, I nearly threw the anchor out. !!!! then the steering freed up, THEW !!!!!!!!!!! all good, then every minute or so a beep would sound I thought that it was my sounder, but I think thats its coming from the control box, the VRO has been disconnected ,and I premix,but the tank is still in place,and the oil level looks low...could this be the alarm? I will ask a few more questions,If you dont mind,as I have many,once that I have cleared this one up...cheers lads jonny and lasses

86% now everyone vote please.

I live close by...but alas no boat yet...soon....but would definately be there for sure.....sounds fab. jonny

Thanx Dicko,I better get myself some.. It seems to work well

Looks like you had a great time just one question.... whats in the spraycan in the squid photo ????
