Saving Old Seagulls

yes sorry aluminium.

measured my driveshaft tube today and it is 1 1/8 diameter.

Answered my own question, its alloy. Heavily painted but alloy.

I would just like to say I'm a member of a reef keeping forum and we always go off topic. It's nice to see you guys do on here too. lol

I'll check that tomorrow then. Cheers Vic

If it helps Mines ESCL

It is quite easy to do, just cut the same amount off each bit.

I took 6" off a 102 long shaft, if it has a clutch you will need to re-thread the clutch rod 1/4 BSF.

Dont forget the bearing in the bottom of the drive tube ...

ok Thanks vic

so long as it separates

When you say cut them down I assume you mean the exhaust and drive shaft and tube?

Yes ESCL728AA0
HT lead needs replacing, not because of no spark but because it needs a new cap and somebody had done a repair before I think and the lead is very short so can't add just a new cap.
Hoping to clean the whole thing up and repaint parts to get it looking, well not new but smart, if you ...

I need to replace the spark plug lead.
So this is electronic not points then?

As you can see I've done it. Ended up using a large F-clamp and a large bar and socket. Came undone a treat. Now all I need to do is get the flywheel off.

Now that is a good idea. Thanks Mick
