hehehe

Was this the 10 to 1 mix used in the old British Seagull or was this motor too modern then.

I really cant say anything, i can also remember when pumps were attended, and they put oil in the tank with an oil can, also i can remember pushbikes with a little engine on them. (like a moped,) in fact theres been an ad on TV recently showing one of them. When you look back its amazing how much has changed, and not always for the better.

When rabbi2 and mick were kids cars and boats ran on steam and sea fishing was done with broom handles and scarborough reels and hooks made from coat hangers lol

I can remember when they cleaned your windscreen with an oily rag when they had just put fuel in your motor lol

Oh for the old days when men were men and women were scarce lol

The sign of old age is, when you can't do things today that you did yesterday.

theres still a 'JET' garage in south shields that fills your car with fuel for you.....

and i'm not that old, but i still remember 2 and 4 star fuel pumps, i'm sure you can still get 4 star in the occasional station, i suppose some of the older and classic cars dont run on unleaded so it must be available.

Anyway, whats so special about 2stroke fuel fot a boat? theres plenty 2stroke mopeds knocking about so they must get there juice from somewhere...

Hi Graham, Most boat and 2 stroke owners mix the fuel themselves and buy the petrol and oil seperate. There is no 2 stoke fuel pumps in existance now that I know of.

most two stoke mopeds and bikes have a seperate tank for oil and it mixes its self

A grand invention until the oil pump packs up and the engine blows up when your at full chat, hence the reason I did away with it and now pre-mix my fuel myself with proper marine oil that I purchase 25gall at a time.
