I'd spend 12hrs just looking for the X7 in the shed! Must start it though. It was mone 25years ago and i sold it to a mate. he went off to New Zealand for 15years and came back when we had the Celtic Tiger (ha)..smart enough he's gone back there again now. Anyway he had left it in the shed and it gradually became covered in turf ( eh..'peat' for those who have never had the joy of a turf fire). Anyway we took it out and threw some WD40 down the barrels, left it for 2 weeks and then hooked up a washing up liquid bottle with petro-oil mix. 10 kicks later it fired up without any battery and was ticking over after 2 minutes! Now that deserves a bit of lovin' don't ye think?
