I was just thinking of spinning it on its sump. I thought this might stop the oil congealing and going off?Its only got another week or so then it will have been on the back deck for three weeks. So I’m hoping it will be fixed then. Spinning it on its sump won't work, try rotating it on its vertical plane 360°. The oil will go everywhere. That sounds quite heavy, I think I might need assistance with that.

it should really have a float test, however if it fails it's a bugger to get it back onto the back deck again Again that sounds quite heavy so I think I’ll need some assistance with that.

Maybe we can get a work party to assist Phil

I think the oil might need changing again ask Foxy he seems to change his daily? Alternatively you could use a blowlamp on its cylinder head to help it start that works on some diesels. My personal fave is remove engine and sell it to some frenchman or greek and let them have the problem of the noisy engine

How peculiar, a whole year and no driving the boat. I sometimes think of what it will be like when we get back on board - vacuum out straight away for the cobwebs?

I was watching one of my spiders the other day. Web constructed around one of the cabin lights.
There was a moth.
It kept going towards the light, just missing the web, spider keeping an eye on it. Eventually it did hit the web and the spider was onto it instantly and wrapped it up. Excellent as I don't really like moths due to an awful childhood trauma when they destroyed my sister's teddy bear.

I’m really quite distraught now, my engine has been on my back deck for three weeks and it’s no better. I think a few of you might have been pulling my leg a bit with some of the advice. Now where is the demon when you need him.

Not nice. I just killed a moth because of this image.
I was going to leave it for the spiders but they don't seem to be in the correct location.
These days visiting a hospital for anything is looking less and less appealing.

These days visiting a hospital for anything is looking less and less appealing. Me and mine rarely use the nhs/gp. We have good reason. It appears that almost every time we do they cause us life long suffering through complete ignorance and lack of care. Once they've fucked us up to be fair they're quite good at treating their fuck ups, though of course form a protective circle to deny any responibility. I'm not making this up, I could list it all out if it weren't so boring but the end result is a father and grown son both unable to ever work again. Thank you nhs.

I’ve not posted for a while, I’ve just been lurking recently. I’m having problems with my engine it’s just stopped. I’m just wondering if I should take it out and leave it on my back deck for three weeks? As I understand it that’s what’s recommended by the most knowledgable person on here. Hope you got your engine fixed ? If you're still struggling there's a semi-retired , time-served Lister engineer on here ... but I guess you know even though you visit VERY rarely. Rog

Rog Yes as I have stated in the other thread. I’m ashamed to say that I joined in with ridiculing Tony. But I’m able to realise when I’ve been wrong and amend my behaviour are you? Four years later you are all still at it.

Definitely not.
He chooses to visit here for the SPECIFIC purpose of attacking and abusing us.
I think it would be kindest if he didn't come here, what do you think ?
