Re: New member needing help

In fairness that's what I thought when I brought it, I did obviously look at the engine before handing over the cash and it liked clean, started first time with no smoke (that's as much as I knew to look for to be honest).

He reckons there has been an engine fire recently (something the guy selling it to us failed...
