Re: Flywheel to Tank Gap?
Featherweight. with standard brass tank and Mk II flywheel .... precisely 7/16"
When I am starting it my hand is on the top of the tank with my fingers over the back of the tank.
You'd have to be seriously cack-handed, or stupid, to get your fingers between the tank and the flywheel

Re: carb connection 1979 forty plus
Is this a Bing carb or a Villiers carb.

In real money thats about -14°C The Seagull owners manual says that in cold conditions SAE 90 oil can be used or even an engine oil in freezing conditions, and that in above averag...

Re: 2 stroke oil
10:1 is correct for a 1974 40+ unless modified to run on 25:1. See SOS website for details and identification of the alternative needle.Jim bow wrote:Fresh fuel, 10 to 1
