Saving Old Seagulls

I would love that....I am too chicken to pull mine apart. Actually pulling it apart is easy, its the putting back together that worries me. You can use my motor if you want, I'll pay for parts and a slab (of beer) for whoever does it!

I took mine out for a run a couple of weeks ago.....it nearly went in as well. It was running and seemed to be moving up the newly painted outboard mounting. It was a piece of pine painted with shiny enamel paint. Two lessons 1. Use a ply as the pine snapped off a corner as the outboard moved up. 2....

G'day from WA! it must have been in the air as this afternoon I got my 'old dear ' (LLS 21492) going for the first time in 8 years. Bruce lives just up the road, so to speak. Well about 50km, but we don't call that far here. Unlike Bruce I am an engineering ignoramus but I have stripped the carb and...
