Saving Old Seagulls

Thanks for that, thaught he was a bit over the top.

Wondering what this out board is? Its advertised on Buy swap & sell Yorkepeninsular on facebook. Its advertised as a 1934,5HP for $400, collector value $700???

Here in Australia local price of LPG $1.15 liter, petrol $1.65 & the price difference is closing. As you use more gas than petrol, its hardly worth it. I run a dual fuel vehicle & theres very little difference in running it on petrol or gas.

Charles as this is a Seagull site I was just wondering how many Seagulls you have brought down with the shot gun??

Un beliveable Inspector. Today I got to it & freed up the throttle slide that was stuck flat out. Checked the spark & it was a nice fat blue spark, filled the fuel tank choked the motor & 1st pull & it goes. It runs well & idles quite smoothly, does sound like a lawn mower though...
