Which Dwarf are you?

Went to visit my boat in hospital today.Boat mechanic believes its good to go but wouldnt let me take it home.He strongly advised me to let him sea trial it on the weekend before I can take it home.
He found several faults the wheelbarrow mechanic had caused/overlooked.
Rough Idle.Centre carby way out of adjustment.
Exsessive Smoke.Oil pump delivering double the required dose.
Thermostat.Stuck open,corroded.Never been checked as the plate has never been off the water jacket.Causing motor to run too cold,especially at idle.Its ticked as serviced in the book over many visits
Broken clip on throttle.The wheelbarrow mechanic broke a plastic clip that holds the accelerator rod to the accelerator cable.He says at WOT the clip would fall off and the motor returns to idle.I didnt use WOT on the last outing so wouldnt have known.
He ran it for 3 hours at WOT in his tank,running sweet.Wants the sea trial to ensure there is nothing else out of place.Compression and spark etc all very good.

Mate that's great news on the motor and sounds like you've got a bloke who is switched on.

Being so busy might pay to book your next service for June

Tells me he runs a 6 week waiting list all year,plenty of blokes in the workshop too.
Wheelbarrow mechanic runs 1 boat not fixer and has a very short waiting time.

Now you know why,,

Good to hear your new mech seems to know what he's up to. He may have a fiar sized waiting list, but he sounds worth it.

Gday Andy

Hope things are going well with regards to the Boat..

Mate, after a long journey of frustration myself - we launched the SharkCat yesterday for the first time in over 12 months and it was brilliant.

Since we purchased it we have always had some issue on a trip out.

Well this time everything went as planned.

Too many ****ties about to haul in any good fish, but got a feed of Blue Swimmers and had a good time..

Definitely worth the frustration... And the sunburn...

Mate,I dragged it home and left it hitched to the D2 in the drive.Stole the Turbo Territory and bolted back to Perth,see the general forum
