Good diesel mechanic in Penrith, NSW?

[Goplayoutdoors]

G'day guys,

Can anyone recommend a good diesel mechanic in or near Penrith, NSW?

My 2010 mn has recently started coughing, surging and generally feeling like its going to stall at low revs and blowing a tonne of smoke anytime I put my foot down. I'm keen to find someone good local to start using and get away from mitsi service centres now that warranty is up.

Goplay.

JUST add a 300ml dose of Castrol Activ 2T (FC Rated mineral oil based 2 Stroke oil) to your next full fuel tank refill and you'll -most probably- immediately fix all of your problems that you've listed above...
Once your rig is behaving nicely again, then just add 100ml of the same 2T jooce to -each- full tank refill from then on and you'll continue to be a happy man and you'll also have saved yourself a whole pile of your hard earned dough that you would have otherwise spent / wasted, on -expensve- "good diesel mechanics" .
If that -doesn't- fix your problems then search the Forum for "Cleaning the MAF Sensor" and do what it says there.
If -none- of that fixes your -problems- ..THEN.. go spend your money on expensive diesel mechanics...

The -important- criteria "snakes" is that it -must- be FC Rated (extremely low ash forming) -and- high quality "Mineral Base Oil" based 2 Stroke oil. Dont ever be tempted to use "Synthetic" based 2 Stroke oil as I've seen reports that it can cause "Gelling" of your diesel under some conditions and the thought of having your -entire- fuel system clogged with "Gelled" fuel just doesn't even bear thinking about....
Castrol Activ 2T is simply the most commonly available one which ticks all of the required boxes....
I wouldn't personally like to say yes or no about your particular Outboard oil you're talking about without first knowing if it meets all of the criteria I've mentioned above....
The other thing to also keep in mind with outboard 2 Stroke oil is that it is designed to operate in marine water cooled engines which run lower temps and probably lower revs also, than the bikes and hotter running small engines that the Castrol Activ 2T is designed for. In other words the Castrol Activ 2T is designed for safe use at higher temps and in higher stressed small engines so it -probably- uses a higher quality base oil, and additives, than the marine 2 Stroke oil formulations do, as well.
Just personally, I'd stick with the stuff that's known to work, without the extra worry about undue risks....

I have used outboard 2t in the past.
it was the Yamaha branded one. Dont have it any more so cannot give you the actual specs
never caused any issues.

as AOF said, if you are not sure just go with the castrol - it's what I currently use.
