Yep, we never have turkey!No probably not. The only reason we will be having turkey is because she's there. We would rather have a fillet steak.![]()
We never change them for that reason. As we neither of us get hay fever and they are so expensive. Are we wrong? Should we just take them out?Well, I have got her back home and read the invoice and the inspection report.
They popped £5 worth of fuel down the filler to check for any further leaks and say its fine.
Blimey!Pollen Filters are £17 ea. Wow! That cost more than the OIL & Oil Filter.

I remember buying 2-stroke petrol at 6 shillings and threepence ha'penny for my moped (used as a field bike 'cos I wasn't old enough for a licence then, in 1968). That was for a full gallon, and about 32p in todays foreign coin system.
He means two-stroke mixturedo you mean 2 star petrol? never heard of 2 stroke petrol.. am i too young?
5-Star = 100 octane, 4-Star = 98 octane, 3-Star = 93 octane, 2-Star = 87 octane
yea i did see that, but given different engines like anywhere between 40-50:1 i don't see how you can sell it pre-mixed! unless the pump is a pre-mixer like the coke tap in a pubHe means two-stroke mixture!
He did say " for a moped"!!!
Back in the days pre decimalisation, nearly all mopeds and many bikes were two stroke. you could buy it from a garage and I think you got it from a special pump which mixed it for you, but I cannot swear to it as we never bought it in my family.yea i did see that, but given different engines like anywhere between 40-50:1 i don't see how you can seel it pre-mixed! unless the pump is a pre-mixer like the coke tap in a pub

According to this, i was right, for once.

It wasn't premixed. Petrol stations had a cone shaped can with a plunger on top and a dial for the mix ratio, you had to squirt the 2 stroke oil into your tank before filling with regular pump petrol. But in 1974 I bought a brand new suzuki gt which had a separate tank for the 2 stroke oil which was injected into the engine at a regulated rate. That was a good bike ------i don't see how you can sell it pre-mixed!
