Yeah, Welcome to the " Garden Ornament Club " One day I'll take Small Fry out for a spin. Till then, it's just an Ornament. Never mind, I'm out with Dave on Wight Magic for the Bream Comp. Jim

Hi Graham, I have the E-Tec 75. Had the first service last year at 3 years old. I can only say that I am very pleased with it. I can't comment on the other brands. Honda give 5 year warranty I believe. Jim

Hi Paul, I have a Suzuki 4 HP Four Stroke. You're welcome to try it out. Jim

Well where's the pictures and Web Link then Nige ? Us old fellas don't have much padding on our rears and are very interested in this post. Ta. Jim

Welcome David. Jim

My Brother negotiated 250 quid off the price of Small Fry because the GPS would not " Fire up ". The dealer I bought it from obviously didn't know either. I bought a new bank of switches and sorted it. I wish I'd known about switch cleaner. It would have saved the bother of changing the switches. Good post Gents. Jim

Graham, I don't know when Small Fry will be out again, but you're welcome to take a look around it in my garden. ( Hamworthy ) PM me if you do. Jim

O.K. now you've done it ! When I've been flatty bashing and taken fish home for cleaning, I have noticed that some have eyes one side and some on the other. I thought it was just evolution of the same species. Are you saying they're a different fish ? ? ? ? ? Jim

Mark, You are an asset to the Club. Always a " Bloody Good Report " I do enjoy reading your reports and the pictures are always great. Well Done. Jim.

That's the one ! Thanks Paul.

Can someone who understands the Club Website put a link to our Trailer Bearings and brakes Thread from 7th Nov 2008. I can find it, but can't figure out how to place a link to it. ( Or search for " Bearing Saver " ) it should come up on your screen. Jim

Thankyou all. Yep ! It's been Good. Jim

Thanks Gents. Trust you to remember that one Rob. It's my Daughter's Birthday Today as well. She was born on my 23rd Birthday. ( yes Martin - - - that'll make her 97 then ) Double celebrations at the Small Fry residence Tonight. ( Lots of CAKE ! ) May even have One beer later. Cheers, Jim

Looking good Colin & Bobi. Have you thought of a name yet? Jim

Probably no use, But I had the same thing with an old Marina 40. The kill button was missing when I bought it, so I wired in a kill switch by the helm. The vibrations of the engine had worn the insulation on the lead and was shorting out. It did not affect it too much at speed because the contact was being made and broken. When in neutral, the engine sits in a different position and does not make the connection. When in gear, the engine casing moves and sits in the damaged insulation. I hope this makes sense. If you have a remote kill cord, check the lead. Jim

If only Dave ! ! ! ! One day I'll get out. Looks like the weather's gonna be kind to you. Good luck mate. Jim

Sounds reasonable enough. Shouldn't be too big a job to clean the carb out. Try the net for instructions. Jim

Crikey Jim put your pants back on!! Thanks for those kind words Rob.

I once mis-read the notice and paid the wrong fee. They gave me a ticket. They didn't make a proffit though. I wrote and argued it a few times. It was a genuine mistake and I had paid although it was the wrong amount. Did you explain you were new to the area and did not realise you were breaking any rules? Jim
