Drained the stale fuel from the tank and lines tonight, never seen petrol so red before! Been in the tank for 20 years . I'm hoping to get her running this weekend

Started Ronda last night, typical problem with lifters needing to be pumped up but once running it sounder so sweet!

Great news Ray. With the boat as well preserved as it is, I would expect that the engine would be similar.
Yeh, 20 year old petrol - doesn't even smell like petrol anymore.

Just a dumb question, i noticed the drain bungs don't have any thread in them. I'm guessing corks were the plug of choice? Is this a Lewis thing ?
