To be honest i was a bit disappointed with the last service back at the beginning of the year as I asked the guy to just service the motor and not touch anything else. When I picked it up he told me that the fuel/water separator in the boat had broken when he removed it. I did not ask for this to be checked and he also broke the bilge pump bracket at the same time. I also discovered out at Anchorite that two of the four spark plug leads were loose. Since the service I have noticed that the pee hole flow was a bit low so recently I dropped the leg off to inspect and found that one of the impeller vanes was pointing the wrong way. Any hoo - this has led me to source a service kit for my engine for next time and they are available locally but I have also found them on Ali Express. My particular one is $130 including impeller kit, anodes, oil filter and all the required gaskets. I just need oils and spark plugs. I’ve decided to go for it so will see what it’s like when it turns up, fingers crossed. |
cant see myself sleeping well at that . I havnt done 30 hours on this motor but I have changed the oil twice ( leg too ) and theres a new cambelt to go on .
whilst looking on google for a Tohatsu coil and I find one on Ali for $19 , I also found one from a US supplier for $58us + freight . Upon close inspection both adds used the same set of images .
I would be reluctant to use a no brand ying tong cambelt . I hear what your saying but gotta be a bit selective
