Odyssey Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 New plug, replace gear oil. If it’s 4S maybe new oil and filter. Not much to do if of thought? Maybe oil/grease all moving parts JonC and Geoff 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Oil, oil filter, fuel filter, gearbox oil change, clean the plug(s), grease where necessary, finally check all adjustments to make sure it runs ok. With just 2hrs running I would not bother with the impeller if it is pumping ok. Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It would probably be even easier for you if he quickly popped down from Norfolk and did it for you. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Looks like one plug. I have a spare in the folder that came with it as well. But I forgot to get the numbers so I’ll have to go back tomorrow to look. I pored 10 litres of old petrol from the tank in her car as well, she went mad, thinking I’m trying to stitch her up.
