there was a lot of IF's that could have made it not happen IF they hadnt just fallen into line in the hour it took after you got back from dropping the trailer back and I was charging the battery.

  • IF it wasnt for the nearly flat battery slowing the cranking speed
  • IF I hadnt been doing the compression check and left the spark plug earthed where I could see it
  • IF I hadnt been trying to do a bushies compression check with my thumb on the spark plug hole.
  • IF it hadnt happen to stop with the piston I was compression checking with the valves on the rock
  • IF I hadnt noticed no "Suck" and a second lighter "compression" when there was no spark coming off the plug when the motor stopped on the rock and
  • IF I hadnt only recently gotten a small motor bike running after having the same problem

I probably wouldn't have picked up the blocked muffler.
The journey's not important Dave, we (eventually) got to the destination in a hurry.
