Its mine

Post by Dougelove »

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! :mrgreen:
One boat 2 engines and no paddling...
I collect the motors in the next few weeks. Any info on the top one much appreciated - no number yet!

It is a WS. These are a pretty common motor but the most common problems with century's with amal carbs is the blocks cracking and with blocks costing more than motors they arent worth fixing.

Let me know if you need any parts as i have tons of stuff for century's i don't need.

That FP is nice and probably easier to live with as they are lighter and more manageable

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 again hot or cold. Water flow appears well. Heres a video https://youtu.be/gNFtm5KicmM

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.
