Just got to say, eBay outboard oil and 140 gear oils are the most expensive I've seen..

It does make you wonder though that any two stroke oil nowadays must be superior to the oils used 70 years ago, I bought several cases of old outboard oil recently for very little and on the labels there is nothing mentioned about TCW 2 or 3, surely it must be ok to run a seagull on at 10:1?

Any thoughts?

There should be a small square cast mark that says 416 A4 on the left hand side near the cylinder,it's an Amal & it should be a 416 with a 95 jet .

Actually, I have just had a thought in that Perth is visited by American boats quite regular.

No British floating things ever come to visit?

There is something very much amiss.........................

Sorry back to topic aye!
