Re: Chain
I've been talking to everyone I know who's got a skeletal bracket to find the details of their safety chandelier chains, the pitch of the chain seems to be 2.5 links per inch, which is the same as the safety chain on the bayonet fuel cap & the retaining chain on the locking pin that stops the mo...

Re: Locking latch
Well it seems there is no demand for any re-manufactured ones of these, so there's a job I don't have to do.

Re: Cadmium plating metal parts
During the war, drive shaft tubes were coated with Zinc finding an SD drive shaft tube with traces of Zinc remaining are a bit like rocking horse droppings. Most have been replaced by chrome plated ones. The parts illustrated that are now cadmium plated have replaced the nickel plated originals, whi...

Re: Cadmium plating metal parts
Chris B, so if you immerse in salt water a Seagull lower unit, that is a cadmium plated drive shaft tube, stainless steel prop shaft, aluminium prop & gear box, which bit becomes the sacrificial anode? Ignoring the fact that cadmium plating is banned in most of the World except for some military...

Re: A 40 Plus Mk2, my next project
Great bit of work Hugo, would an ammeter connected to the drill press give a visible indication of when it starts to get harder to rotate your Seagull at 400 RPM, i.e. when the friction rises & any damage might start to occur?

Re: A 40 Plus Mk2, my next project
I bought an SD that didn't have a spark, from a chap who'd tried every trick in the book to get it sparking apart from remove the flywheel as he didn't have a coolie hat puller tool, the most obvious sign I remember was filings in the top of the cylinder.

Re: Seized 102 power head
Bent crankshaft, cracked bore.
This restoration will require the use of a spanner.

Re: Non seagull outboard I. D
You've no idea how much it hurts giving well earned compliments to a man from your side of Hadrian's wall, but you've done a cracking job on that Tam!
If your short of something to do for the next few months, I've several Seagulls that I'd like you to give them your treatment!

Quite a secure containment area, I'll see if I can get a picture of one of the armed guards, this place is the New Zealand equivalent of America's skunk works!

Re: Locking latch
That accounts for the hole in the tip & no provision in the bracket side for a chain fixing point!
