ive been contacted by a feller already that wants to know when mine will be for sale..
how he got my number i don't know,unless they've spoken to one of my mates...
like in said to him it all depends on the other one and if my mate decides to sell it..
hes like me he waited for one to come up for ages,but like i said hes got no choice really..
due to health reasons etc...and he found the one hes got rite on his door step..
well not literally,but it was from a farmer who used it on his farm and he lives 5 mins from him...
its like i said before there all out there somewhere..
regards,mike...

You have 3 control knobs
1 is for Petrol when first starting
2 is for parafin/TVO/Kerosen
3 is for water you only use this when engine is under full load driving somthing ,when running on parafin/TVO/Kerosen the water will stop the big ends knocking . You only let a little at a time until the knocking stops. Too much will stop the engine, the water as to be boiling before you use it

Is it not to stop pinking? used quite alot on aircraft engines, and engines with high compression ratios.
