Re: Restoring a Marston OA
I’m envious now! I’d love to do something like that, but at present I’m too young!! :lol: working 50+hrs a week don’t leave much time for playing. 40yrs time maybe when I’m retired but I’ll probably be too frail to do anything. Fantastic work there, and a fabulous descriptive process. Credit where c...

Re: Its mine
FP goes well very pleased.
Silver century not so good! I am having fun disassembling it tho. So far it’s a mix bag of bolthead sizes!! On the plus the bore and piston looks fine with really good compression.

Re: Its mine
So I’ve collected the FP and all appears well. I did have a little issue with fuel spilling from the carb bowl constantly whilst running. Also need to reseal some of the fuel connections. But it works. Any further information appreciated, not sure how rich or not she should run, but starts again and...

This is what I have for some summer fun. Last year cost me a months mortgage to keep the girls entertained! This year that’s not going to happen!

Re: Anything free cheap
So I’ve just shelled out a whole 26 British pounds for a silver century short shaft. I’m assured it was running last year and dry stored since. No number yet as it’s 200miles away in the sellers boatyard. A quick call to a mate and I’ve saved £66 on shipping fees as long as I can wait a few weeks, w...

Re: Fuel filters
Thanks Keith, where are they located? I haven’t got myFP yet to see. You say it’s got two, so did my mk1 golf but I put one in anyway and the amount of muck that collected was phenomenal but easier to clean. And for £2 can’t go wrong..

Anything free cheap
If you don’t ask you don’t get! I would love to see how these are put together to give me some prior knowledge in keeping mine going (‘76 FP). It has already been recently fully serviced so I don’t want to jeopardise it - it only cost £40 at a hard haggle! If anyone has something dead that is wantin...

Fuel filters
Does anyone use inline fuel filter? I’m thinking of the glass inline type with a washable filter. Will this impede the flow or such? Thanks

A little thanks goes a long way. And my thanks goes to John. For this page and the invaluable knowledge that he has on these old birds; and keeping them alive. Hello to you all. New to the game, done a bit of canoeing with the fam and plenty of kayaking with the lads for years. First motor though - ...
