Thanks Charles, much appreciated!

As some of you are aware i've just bought a forty minus short shaft. It says on the engine identifier that the ration of 2 stroke oil to petrol is 10:1. Now i know what John has put is right.

Just thought this might be of use to some people.
Being a newbie i asked Niander to do me a video of how to start the engine.
Hopefully this will be of use to others as it was of great use to me.

Ok guys thanks, i'm also talking to a forum member about the piossibility of buying his motor, but it would then involve the shipping etc which i'm not keen on, i've got the guys number so i'm going to give him a call in a sec, could you give me an idiots guide of what to check & how to check if...

That's what i'd prefer to do, buy from one of you guys. I am watching one by a member on here on Ebay, although there is one that is literaly 5minutes walk from my house that i found on Ebay last night. I have no idead about whether it's Kosher or not, i've emailed the seller asking him a few questi...
