Saving Old Seagulls

Try using a reduction socket on it and then you can use a smaller extension size bar to attach to the drill.

I still have my myford its had a hard life, but still works well for me and could not do with out it.
My one was a free bee, but the price also depends on what other bits come with the myford.

Liability insurance is for your own boat, which the boat owner has to take out himself, not the club, the liability insurance is mainly for the damage that your boat may do to others.
Thats why you see most sailing boats that can, come out of the water in october, as the liability insurance gose up.

You should have liability insurance for any boat on the water, it works out about £5 per £100 of what the boats worth, like small tenders and so on, with up to about 10hp outboards.
So for a 6ft tender that a got for free it costs me £5 a year for £3,000,000 liability insurance.

At least all the techno mumble about Seagulls can be useful to us sad perverts. I have never seen, even reading back through all the old copy, such a load of unintelligible meaningless twaffle as above. The engines certainly appear far superior to the Seagull, as the others in Collectors collection...

not that old.
On the 5hp whats in the gearbox oil or grease its hard to tell and for some strange reason the head has studs not bolts.

Thanks for all your help and info, the super 5hp has the Amal with the plastic bottom, so thats not that old and the con-rod has not been ground, have pics with just numbers and letters on it. The pilot has 0/19378/s on it, still none the wiser. As for the seaking it has a broken prop, looks like a ...

Collector Inspector, could i ask how you can tell the year of the pilot and why they seem to have a thin and a thicker leg on some. I have a pilot (thicker leg) and am also doing up a super single at the moment. anyway any web sites you could point me to would be helpful. http://i218.photobucket.com...

The lever at the base of the magneto is comon to the OMC's and old johnson's i have two twins that work the same way, but the magneto plat operates the throttle as well and do run very smooth.

You will need a puller ie flywheel puller two legs not three legs will work better and some luck.

According to my father in-law the J.A.P 2stroke engine was about the only 2stroke available at one time and with no adjustment of timing when running, I have five outboards of the 50s/60s and the only one with an adjustable timing, and thats a 1947 USA made outboard, and has a tendency to cook its i...
