The FAT is cleared for running. It was a little reluctant to start but adding fresh gas should solve that. The ¾ ton requires a bit more work. It did start briefly and then refused all further efforts to start again. Many thanks to Doug Loney, Andrew McRae, Sean Black, Cameron Black and Harry Moon.

FYI: Yorke Island Trip confirmed for April 21-24. Lots to do this year for those who are motivated.... Construction, fort maintenance, trail guides, sweepers and scrapers. Even more spots open for "Whale Watchers" and some with the specialty of "Cruise ship incident prevention experts*". Both categories include folks who are just wanting to visit the island with no commitments other than moving their own gear. Hope to see you all soon.
