Pal of mine who is a marine distributor in Florida has taken Craftsman on, he has been Yanmar dealer for years however thinks they have lost the plot. Yanmar also wanted to punish my pal for selling parts into U.K so relationship is not good.

I idly thought about replacing the GM10 with a nice new 1GM10, but the price is outrageous - four grand for a 300cc diesel. The spares pricing in the UK (compared to the US) is a bit of a pisser too.

It could made water-fed, I suppose. But in most applications the barb is purely for attaching a length of hose, open at one end, to make it self-burping (which is what the bumf that comes with one describes IIRC). Since this means that water will inevitably bleed in if the contraption's in the water, I suppose that at a stretch you could call it 'water-fed'. The other hole, with the cap, is for injecting lube.

Ah, right, I understand. Many thanks. OK, Tranona, I'll add this to the list!
