fresh petrol
new spark plug
changed the gear oil
changed the engine oil
this little 2hp Honda four stroke is a peach of an engine – it is a long shaft model and it weighs just 13.3Kg which is what it is all about for auxillary outboards
they achieve this by dispensing with the water pump and making it air-cooled so there is very little to go wrong
it also has a centrifugal clutch on it so you can start it out of gear, which is nice as outboard propellers are not compatiable with limbs
we’re almost ready to launch – a polish of the hull would be nice if time permits
