Hi my name is stubby
I have 2 scotties
Both with Kerby engines
No One , I bought second hand in the mid 80s used for a few months then put away till 2016
No 2 I inherited from father in law bought in mid 70s I got it 2004 ,and put it in shed with my Scotty
No One ,I will re motor with a Honda and use it No2 I will restore and again use it
Question
Will a Honda G X 200 e/s fit my no 1 Scotty
The engines are running beautifully as is
I have used both scotties 3 times now no 1 needed a carby clean , now both are starting on first go at 3 week intervals
The imfo on the paint and bearings is very helpful
I am looking foward to the project and joining the ODK forum

Hi
I will post some photos and further imfo shortly need to figure out how to post photos
I'm contaplating changing the motor ,because of the difficulty in getting spares for the motor
Although I'm feeling the same way as the motors are purring quite nicely
If I could be assured of spares particularly the electrical side I would be happy to keep ithem standard
No one started on 9 pulls
Eight on the old plug then one pull with new plug and fuel
Then after nine weeks a carby and tank clean
No 2 started on third pull on the original plug and new fuel
And has't missed a beat after many years of storage an oil change to celebrate their reliability
So I am very impressed with their operations
I'm looking foward to working on them

Also while I think of it the Kirby's are quite reliable in the electrical department, it's just their carby's that are a bit dubious and replacements are readily available on eBay and rather cost effectively I might add opposed to replacing the whole engine.
Yes the Honda's are pretty bullet proof but at their cost they should be and why spend cash when you don't really need to.
Cheers,
BB.
