Saving Old Seagulls

Hi there. We certainly do have NAPA, as NA is North America. We have the little baseball hats on them.

Good to know in case this boat goes for another 60 years. I just bought two quarts from a local repair guy, and he said it pours like honey.

Cheers

OK folks, seems everything is in line, and I should be receiving items from the UK for a 25:1 startup. I will probably film it and keep everybody posted.

Thanks for the guidance, folks!

Hi there.

Found some 140 at a repair shop uptown. I'll be heading there tomorrow. He bought a gallon of it about 20 years ago, and has barely used any of it.

OK, I have no clue what those tools are ...

Hi Charles. Thanks for replying.

Ya I wondered if there was any big work to do on it. Is it a good idea to just take the thing apart anyway? Is it a major hassle?

Conversion to 25:1 would have been done aftermarket? It was bought when I was like 2 years old, as my Dad was the original owner.

So ...

That's my 40. I want to take her apart, get her going, shine her up, replace parts, make her sing.

How do I do this? Any books? Any sites? Any advice? I don't know the terminology, and I doubt I have the tools ...
