Your first post on spark plug heat range affecting overall temperature in a two stroke outboard put many of us on notice. Yes we are a small organization and people are apt to ask "did you see that post by………" Hint….alot of us know each other personally.
I will mention once again that if you are not sure about what you are posting….simply resist. Sit back, relax, and listen to those
who have been there and done that in this industry…not motorcycles. You seem to do a great job with anything that has an electron running through it. Great!….carry on. When applied to an old outboard be sure of what you are advising as there are those of us out there who know the tips and tricks on almost everything this forum is all about.
You fail to realize that you may have a negative influence on those that may wish to eventually join this club/organization. Are you a member? If not, why not? That is what the Ask a Member is all about. Attracting new members. If a new member gets bad information would you expect them to return?
The combined years of experience of just a few of the members in here who post and try to help out is staggering and is the source of an amazing wealth of knowledge. Defer to those who may have an accurate answer rather than just throw something out there, lead someone astray, and cost them money and wasted time on an engine.
By providing best guess information instead of fact the whole organization is seen as less than what it should and can be which is an accurate source of information on old engines. Sit back, relax, learn, and quit trying to be a ten minute hero on every single thread out there.
