hey fellow fishos,

now its been a good 6 months at least since ive taken the hustler out

and is been at least 3 months since ive kicked her over in the guts,

what should i replace before i kick her over ???

service ?? what else

They say fuel gets stale after 3 months, I'm not 100% convinced of that but it wouldn't hurt to replace it.
Other than that just make sure it's pumping water and your oil level is ok if applicable.
Better give it a grease and make sure it steers and goes up & down too.
Nearly forgot, jack it up & check your wheel bearings, pump up your bearing buddies if you have them.
Check your trailer lights are working.
Put your bungs in and go.

ok thanks Fed,

its had a about 130 litres of fuel in it for the past 6 months, it would be a shame to see that much expensive fuel go to waste,

il get it serviced and that, um bearings i did about 6 months ago but il have a look at them again

thanks for the help

I'd take a chance on the fuel, I bet you don't have a problem with it.

Your fuel will be just fine Dont listen to Fed as he's telling porky's again

I just kicked iver one of my old Yammy's fot the 1st time in 12 months & she fired 1st turn of the key

Nothing you really need to do just prime & kick over

Yep, agrred with jumpy one, just start it up and chgeck that the water pump is pumping and get out fishing! Prolly need a few revs to blow out the cobwebs once she warms up and youll be right

Some people just don't 'get it' do they Jumpy?

WTF?

JG just put it under load and see how it go's, of course it will run with old fuel, but with aging the fuel 's knock factor is lowered and will damage the motor, its really cheap maintenance to change the fuel.

go get him fed

EWE got to be YOKING poly

Do you visir the same sites as Fed to get your information ?????????????????????????????



Where the hell did ewe dig up that crap from ??

Geez I wish you guys would use your noggins instead of coming up with this crap

Worst case senario fuels lost it's octane level whoopeee big deal moror wont start

Very Highly Unlikely

ewe want to see these smilies poly

That's how I get when I read the ridiculous now if you can back up your theory thats a different story but hustler asked a Q & I answered it

indead u did but u are wrong and i can see J G u are not going to take my word on this one, so what will it take J.G.
in the mean time i would like u to think about the words MOTOR SPIRIT, if u don't like those two try this one BENZIEN now what happens to a motor spirit or "BENZIEN" when exposed to air.
PS, i like the smiles u posted

HAHAHAHA Fuels KNOCK Factor went out the window when they stopped using leaded fuel and started using softer metals in engine construction..

Boy some of you all are showing ya age!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Under high compresion with good ignition the fuel will burn.. You might be forgetting that the KEY ingredieant to the whole cycle is OXYGEN and fuel is just there to create the ignition while oxygen reduced the flash point of the vapour and the high explosion..

BENZINE you speak of is added to fuel to stop assist in stopping detonation (by controlling the octane level), which is when there are two explosions in the chamber instead of a single oneThis is generally after the main ingnition, however can also be classed as pre ignition, when there is ignition BEFORE the initial fire (sometime also caused by somthing hot or glowing in the chamber) . Can also be from the mixture burning TOO fast..

Benzine is also I BELEIVE???? the main ingredeent used in most octane boosters for performance racing engines or for hyandai exels wit oversized exhausts!


I really dont think you will have a problem hustler... Im pissed as im writing this so sorry if i have talked in circle ans will prob read it tomorrow and wonder what im on about!

Should add though, a 2 stroke pre mixed fuel is a differant sotry again....

forgot to mention, IF ANYTHING, if you didnt bleed your fuel lines through your carby on the last run, the fuel/oil mixture in the carby and on the plug could foul up and cause problems, but a good run and a few revs will generally clear that. ;)

Not even gonna argue the point with you poly & if you're wondering why I went off it was those angry smilies you used.

I dont give a rats tail if anybody disagree's with what I say in any thread I quite enjoy that they dont it gets threads moving.

But when I see angry smilies well thats a different story & I'll bite back every time

:offtopic:

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

While all of You are arguing about Octane Ratings and ignition knock, the smart kooky just tops up his stale fuel using premium octane fuel which freshens up the existing fuel mix making it a satisfactory standard without wasting it.
AND as for EXPLOSIONS fuel does NOT explode when ignited in a cylinder it BURNS RAPIDLY.

You are correct SUMO,

HOWEVER, In the case of detonations, there are 2 seperate explosions or the fuel burns too rapidly!

Just to add,

ex·plo·sion /ɪkˈsploʊʒən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ik-sploh-zhuhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. an act or instance of exploding; a violent expansion or bursting with noise, as of gunpowder or a boiler (opposed to implosion).
2. the noise itself: The loud explosion woke them.
3. a violent outburst, as of laughter or anger.
4. a sudden, rapid, or great increase: a population explosion.
5. the burning of the mixture of fuel and air in an internal-combustion engine.
6. Phonetics. plosion.

Of course SUMO is bloody correct !

Every time someone posts a simple Q like this one people throw every senario under the sun @ it

Well let me tell ewes the motor will not blow up if you dont kick it over @ precisely 3.33 pm on the 1st sunday of every month

Mine did!

Did it have condensation FED

Not a drop when I drained the tank Steve but the boat is always under cover so there's no rainwater leaks.

I think someone pee'd in his fuel tank

Jokes Aside

One way you will damage you motor is by reving the sh*t out of it

I just shake my head @ the boat ramps when I see this

It's ok to rev the motor under load but not to warm it up let it do so on it's own accord

well seid JG, at least we do agree on that one but we have drifted of topic again, may i bring your attention back to SUMO'S post he has given very good advice, however i would drawn the fuel out of the boat first and use it in the car.
i hope u like this smile J G

thanks fellow fishos for the advice, i think what il do is top it up with prem unleaded and just see how she goes, shes a 2 stroke,
