I didn't mean you!
There's too many people willing to post offensive ill informed messages, which makes it hard for those trying to follow a forum in order to gain some relevant information.
Let's try and keep the posts friendly and informative Spell checkers are good too

MY SPELLING IS REALY BAD BUT SPELL CHECKER KEEPS FREEZING MY SCREEN ,i know some peps slag others off at times i just ignore usually, some posts are put on as a laugh, but this does not help as there are some who will just try what is posted with out thinking there is anything wrong with the post to trusting i suppose. But dont like to see posts that if this is done can cause damage or are dangerous to the person doing it, seen pranks in the workshop go wrong and every one there should have known better.

Easy start should only be used for a couple off seconds when starting. Expect internal damage with excessive use. Such as blown piston rings causing lack of compression. Hence greater use of easy start to get the engine running on a regular basis
