    THey swapped in a battery and its a diesel...

    I've run diesel thats been left to sit for more than 5 years in engine of the same tech vintage without an issue, and that only looks like a couple of years or so growth for some areas.

    ah, my bad - I did fast forward a few times to get to the action - I thought diesel also went off over time.
    Still, quite entertaining.

    Well YEAH, that's sort of what I was thinking. My old 110 is totally reliable for starting but I've had plenty of daily drivers that needed a special ritual to start; 2 stroke outboards in particular - leave them 3 or 4 weeks and they can be a pain to start.
