Remember I know nothing about two strokes once they get fitted to boats- ;) but it does sound like poor HT spark to me. If it was a 70's Japanese bike I'd go for HT lead or spark plug cap. As revs...

Parcel sent.. :)

One tip for when you use it. Leave the grub screw on the adaptor loose until you are sure you have the right length of rod fitted to the plunger. That way you can't...

I'm a retired car mechanic but I did do quite a bit of work on 70s Yamaha bikes with points and as said above the timing is critical. I had (probably still do somewhere) a spark plug thread adaptor...

Well in the end I bought a low pressure Gelert pump for £13.99 on ebay which I can leave to do most of the work as suggested. Just finishing the job off with my excellent Quicksilver manual pump. ...

I think the manual pump I have must be the Quicksilver one also then. It is a double action one and has the pressure gauge. It's an excellent bit of kit and works really well. It's just the old...

Ebay boat pumps

I'm looking for a cheap electric pump for my Quicksilver. I know the Bravo pump is the best and recommended one but I will probably only use it once or twice a year (or not at all) so anything that...
