Saving Old Seagulls

It would of been the same as buying a new car you could say. Very expensive.

In todays standards. What sought of money would that be equivalent to now.

So undo pipe and flush through with hosepipe on threaded end? That's it. Your garden hose should be a tight fit over the exposed threads on the stub. Turn on your hose and watch all the water squirt out the water inlets. Smear some marine grease around the threads as you fit the water outlet back o...

You don't have to run the engine when flushing. As stelios said, Undo the nut that holds the water outlet pipe on top of the engine block between the fuel tank and flywheel. Push the end of your hose over the threaded end and turn it on for a few minutes. Once its all flushed you could squirt it bit...

Has anyone ever heard seen or used one of these at all. Are they for marine use only.

Hi Charles. How did you get on with what you were going to do.

Got some lockwire and a pair of special pliers to twist it. The wire guage is .041. Ive had a go at doing it, but I don't think its done correct. Can anyone help me out with this. Its a good thing I brought a pound of wire

Pulled the barrel of tonight and have noticed there is no lockwire around the big-end screws. Did some motors come without the wire. Or do I need to soure some up from someplace :?: I have also spotted the tiller arm stub for the handle has a stripped thread. Is there a wing nut with a smaller diame...
