I remember mentioning something to julesntash shortly after we purchased it that its power was disappointing, compared to our 101, but i put it down to it just being the slightly different engine. We both looked over it in Bob's (photomans) field that summer, changed the filters, sedimeter etc. but it made little difference, so, as i say, i just put it down to it being 2 tonnes of metal attached to a not especially powerful engine.
Cleaning the tank has made a lot of difference when cold also. Its always 'bunny hopped' a little on very cold mornings until its got warm, but now, right from the off, its smooth.
Basically, as ive said above, its like a whole new motor, and im pretty pleased, considering ive been driving about in it for the past 18 months or so like it was.
I did not really look at what i pulled out of the tank - for all i know it could have been dino silt covered with a haze of glycerol. I guess i should have looked closer, but, at that point, i wasnt thinking it would make much difference.
Anyhow, the point of my post was that, whilst there's a whole load of mention of people changing filters etc. there's not often mention of people cleaning out their tanks, and, possibly, its somthing more attention should be paid to?
