Re: British Anzani Down Under
Small world it is when you're interested in small, old outboards. Thanks for adding that detail, sounds like you know a lot about Anzani, up until now I've only specialised in Seagulls, so these are new to me. Pity they didn't have some reasoning to their serial numbers, would have made life easier ...

Re: British Anzani Down Under
Thanks for the comments / questions. There is a year stamp on the top face of the ignition assembly plate, only visible when completely disassembled. The top main is in excellent condition. At first I thought it might not be because it had patches of black / brown residue baked on that looked like p...

Re: 1951 Little Forty FVP7383 manual or parts diagram
Some general pictures as the stripping down gets underway. No surprises so far. Gear box has turned out to be in good condition so the no turning issue is in the powerhead unfortunately. Flywheel came off without fuss but the ignition base plate needs careful persuasion. The carby plastic parts are ...

Re: 1951 Little Forty FVP7383 manual or parts diagram
HiJeremy, Thanks for your comments and pinning down the date of production. There is one main reason for the strip down, I am a restorer and preserver of old things mechanical but I really love old Seagulls. Bought my first 102 thirty years ago. I don't do static displays, my current flock of four a...

Re: 1951 Little Forty FVP7383 manual or parts diagram
Thanks Keith, that's a very handy bit of advice and inside information. Things could have gone very badly not knowing about the threaded tube!! Hopefully, heat and a bit of bees wax will do the trick. Fingers crossed.

Re: 1951 Little Forty FVP7383 manual or parts diagram
Thanks Keith. I haven't had this engine on the operating table yet so I am gathering what I can before the strip down. Seeing that you have one yourself, one thing you might be able to shed light on is the attachment of the drive shaft to the water pump housing. I haven't seen the attachment on any ...

1951 Little Forty FVP7383 manual or parts diagram
Hi All, Just inherited this Little Forty. It looks great but needs much internal help. Hoping somebody out there has a general arrangement drawing or manual. I have a later model Little Forty but this one has a few design variations that I need to get my head around. Thanks for taking the time to re...
