G'day

I live in Dubbo in NSW which is hardly tropical but this winter it did rain quite a bit here and at one stage I forgot that I had left my ARF Kadet with its Saito 65 in the back of my ute under a tonneau cover. When I pulled it out a couple of weeks later, I just put it away and forgot it. When I started the engine about two months later, the engine ( which is less than a year old) was well down on power and sounded noisy in the bottom end. I pulled the backplate off and was greeted by a very rust rear bearing. Humidity kills. It now has some nice new ceramic bearings from RC-Bearings and is feeling much better.
