Well only just past Richmond lock . /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I nipped down to Twickenham and Forbsie helped me launch and recover her . Had a bit of a fuel problem but that was sorted by Scott of Eel Pie with a new gromet in the fuel line and then on the way back had more problems but that was sorted by pulling the choke out . Not sure why that worked /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Anyway other than that it was a plesant day out with cheese sarnies hola hoops and 7up /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

That crazy boat then proceeded to crash into a tree at the end of the island. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif That bloke is just not right ! He scares me !
I was just looking at the pics of the deck and wondering why they look blotchy . Then i realised it is a reflection of the sky /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Not bad for ten coats /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Not decided yet but it was No6 build so 006 or Double O Six but i like Lil Chris or Little Chris as that is my Mums name . Naming her after my Mum will stop the ear bashing of spending money on boats /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Why dont you call it the GAY GORDON (after your ex-lodger oops partner) who come from the mother land of your vessel.
Was Gordon wearing his skirt in the pitcure as we cant quite see. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Absolutely dreadful boat covered in all sorts of tat from plastic flowers and beads on the handrails to rubber herons on the transom.

Having to pull the choke out always means that the engine is getting too much air for a given supply of fuel and you need to restrict the air for the amount of fuel now going into the engine.

It tells me straight away that the main jet is blocked with dirt and has a now limited fuel supply into the carburettor ventura and by pulling the choke, which does what it says (CHOKE), it limits the air for that given amount of fuel.

Clean the carb and you will be OK. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
