Had to replace the battery yesterday.
It only gets used occasionally but I thought it was time for a new one, the one I removed has got to be 8 or so years old.
Started it up and, as usual, after a couple of pumps of the accelerator she fired first time.
Had a check round and started to make a list of things to do when the weather gets better. Also decided to look for a kero fridge for the back. The chap I purchased it from said it had a kero fridge fitted by the original owner, can't find anywhere that a gas bottle would have been stored.
It would have to be very compact, was there a small kero fridge available ?
Coolant needs changing soon and I really need to check the timing and then check through the wiring for the welder. At some point the head needs to come off because it's down on power but doesn't smoke or use much oil, mind you, stale petrol wouldn't help matters. It's always run slightly rich and I haven't fiddled with the Holden carby fitted apart from putting a gasket kit through it 12 years ago......
Someone has recently contacted me to see if I'd sell her but I've decided I'm not ready yet.

Small kero fridges used to exist, but I have not seen one for probably fifty years! Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen a large one for nearly as long!
Thanks John,Quote:

Ive never seen a small kero fridge. We used two of the big ones till about 86. one was a "Charles Hope" the other an "Electrolux". I assume these were the major brands as I've also had an "Electrolux" in PNG in the 60/70s. I've still got the original instruction booklet for the 'Electrolux"

I got sucked in by one of those adds until I read further down. They only run on LPG or 220V electricityQuote:

Colin, the price of Kero would horrify you even if you did find a small kero fridge in working condition, plus they are astonishingly heavy. Better off to find an Electrolux caravan fridge - built-in, under-bench style, from a 70's/80's era caravan. They usually have 240V power option as well, so you can cool it down before you leave home and switch to gas later. Electrolux also made small free-standing LPG fridges, about the size of a large bar-fridge.Quote:

I have a small Engel but this vehicle isn't used for long trips.
