Good! And yes thanks.

:-) I understand that suitable amounts of ethanol in the 
traditionally dilute form administered orally helps a lot for that 
(and all else). I don't think it's on our site, but it does ring a 
bell.

Why not in the fuel? Would make life easy. I don't know, but I'd like 
to, just asking.

Oh it's not so bad! You got the thing into the lightweight then? What 
did you use, a shoehorn? Should be fine in a lightweight, just said 
to be underpowered for a 109, mainly on long trips and upfill, but 
off-road it's fine. It's quite reliable I think.

Please do. Sounds like a very interesting beast.

Good luck.
