The item that your finger is touching, should rotate independently from the 'foil'. Am I right in thinking that your problem is with the foil not rotating? If the foil does rotate, then each mechanical issue is in front of you; I'm sure that you know that so this is a "what if?" sorry! Yes, the...

Hand wash by gently massaging it in a kitchen sink with a "natural" soap, once the 1st stuff has been removed. Why wouldn't that work?

I disagree with Seastoke, but from a slightly different view perhaps. I've always found it to be very efficient and reliable, although I've also suffered with this carb. problem which can be avoided by assiduously emptying the carb. However, at the moment, I've just bought a GK24 with a Mercury...

This might help your problem? Post #14 is very thorough. I did see that you've covered this, but it might add to your knowledge in the future.

In the diving industry, that's called "Wet stored".

Sorry Steve, but for personal clarity, your advice is to not use the drain, but just to run the engine dry from turning off the fuel tap? It matters to me to get it right, and you're the bloke that gets it right!

I always turn the fuel off to let the engine run dry, and if I'm not planning on using it in the near future, I empty the carb. to drain the small, remaining amount. This carb. drain is very accessible with a small 10mm. socket, through a designed gap in the body of the motor. A 10 second job. I...

It entirely depends on the radio, and in part it's age. My Standard Horizon GX2200 is able to have a new MMSI reset by me, with the radio in place on the boat. There's a procedure in the radio menu that addresses this, requiring me to gain a code, which I then send to the manufacturer, and they...

If it's about LR's, shouldn't John Morris 'mod'ify opinions here, being as he's a regular on a LR forum, which will be able to say the number of teeth on the ring gear of each model!

As above, plus they've the AIS app. It's certainly going to be much easier 'up here', given the distances between anywhere and anywhere else, and the relatively few number of boats.

@Steve65 is the resident expert on these engines, but took a sabbatical on them due to work pressures, a few months ago. It might be worthwhile giving him a pm to confirm or advise?

This seems like it could well be a familiar story of a recurrent 'fault' with these engines, which is very simple to rectify. (y) Honda BF2.3 carb clean | YBW Forum I've used the procedure within that thread very successfully. It took me about an hour or so, and was extremely logical to do. It...

Honda 2.3. Seriously, I'd like to see your engineer's rationale for condemning it, as my own experience is that they're wonderfully easy to keep going?
