Brisbanes’ Self Storage Blog

hi i need help i don’t know much about outboard motors and my friend is giving me one for my jon boat but it has been stored for 8 years. what should i to get it running ( it does run but is there anything i have to do?

Buy a service manual – If you don’t want to pay new price then E-bay, Amazon have cheap second-hand ones, and your local library has many manuals in the technical section with a bit of luck.

Don’t use carby cleaner on a two-stroke. It removes all lubrication from the engine as it passes through and could damage it quite severely.

The advice to flush any old fuel out is good. If fuel has sat in a carby for that long you may find stripping the carby down at least is needed – a kit for the carby is cheap and ensures some bits and gaskets will be good. Fuel lines, pump (if any) and filters must be carefully checked – follow the directions in the Manual for these procedures and changing oil in the leg etc. There will be a whole section devoted to the water impellor. and cooling system maintenance – after this time the impellor will have some vanes bent over and will have much reduced flexibility – the procedure for changing this will be in the manual. Your biggest thing will be to make sure your tools are good – the bolts may not be keen to move on an old engine and the last thing you need are crap tools that damage fasteners rather than undoing them!

If you are not at all confident then you may need to use a workshop to service the engine fully – be aware that labour will be expensive for this if the engine requires a lot of messing about, so get a quote first just in case.

Good luck.

for example my car got stolen and crashed and its totalled so i signed the pink over to the tow yard. but now there saying if i dont pay the storage fee it will go on my credit is that true?

Yes, you owe the storage charge. If you do not pay, there will come a time when the car is sold as scrap, and likely there will still be a balance owed. If you don’t have comprehensive insurance and the car is totalled, why don’t you junk the car and have done with it?

I will be on vacation for a month and I would like to take some nude photos and store them on easily on a photo websight. Any suggestions for a private photo storage site?

Thanks

You might open a Gmail account a google. Then email the photos to your self. They will be saved on gmail’s servers. No one can see them without your password. You can email them to another email server like Hotmail.

I will be cleaning out a very large storage locker filled with everything old and useless, like old mattresses, chairs, tables…etc etc etc. We plan on renting a U-Haul truck, loading it up…and then…what? We need to find a local public dump that allows folks to dump off old items and anything considered trash… a regular dumpster couldn’t even begin to hold up the incredible amount of stuff we need to get rid of, plus that is probably against some kind of law to leave mattresses and tables, and large things of trash all around a public dumpster…. So we need a public dump…. any clue in the world how to go out about finding this? Call city management perhaps?
in Clearwater, FL
please no comments about trying to sell it.. I just need an answer to my question I already stated…. (And we cannot try to sell this… I live about 45 minutes away from this area, work 2 busy jobs, and these are all items of my fathers…he is a pilot and lives in another country..hes in town for 2-3 days to get rid of this locker…trying to sell all this stuff – which believe me, if you saw it, isn’t worth it…. is just something we do not have time for. )

I know what you are going through. I just moved and had to get rid a lot of crap.

Call your town (or check their web site) and ask who they use for disposal or ask for recommendations.

You could contact a waste management company that will drop off a dumpster. You would be surprised how large they come. All you have to do is fill it and they will haul it away for you. Unfortunately, it may cost you hundreds of dollars to do this.

Anyway, I feel your pain!

Good luck!

I’m wondering if this would be a profitable investment. I’m under the assumption they can make pretty good money. If no, then what would in your opinion?

Very expensive investment, very cheap maintenance and overhead.

Once you get into the business, if you do it right, almost all your rents are free of expenses. All you have to do is make your site big enough to be worth the construction.

You can hedge your investment in advance by making sure damage to the property, liabilities for people living in the properties and security aren’t issues.
