Hi Roger, Sorry for the delay in answering, the Mikuni had a little fault, that I had a good idea what was wrong, I believed the flame senser needed cleaning and all would be ok. One person told me where to look but someone else, who sounded very knowledgable said take out the glow plug boss and clean out the two holes, so I tried to get the boss out, succeded but in doing so broke off the diesel pipe. New boss £41.00 later fit that clean flame sensor but Mikuni still will not fire up. The MX60 mikuni does not have the two holes in the boss that is the MX40. Was going through local rep but after he failed to contact me as we had agreed, plus his lack of motivation,drive, interest etc went straight to Mikuni in Southampton, the blokes there have been fantastic, after advice from them took off the motor realised that two wicks were needed, ordered them two days later received them (not bad with todays post) fitted and heater fired up after refitting.Had a worry coming back to the boat tonight, the red failure light was glowing, the tempreture on the boat was 3deg's. Put a token in the electricity boax and all is well tempreture is coming up now it is 15deg and still rising. Moose nb fittingcoalfireoverxmas

You were pretty confident a while ago. Waht's happened, or is it a parts supply problem?Roger _________________________________________________________________ Who's friends with who and co-starred in what? http://www.searchgamesbox.com/celebrityseparation.shtml [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
