Hi again
I have just yesterday purchased a SJP50504
Wouldn’t start fuel flowing no problem
Faint spark Wipac points but stuck together
Freed them up looking for the correct gap setting
It was going in the skip not bad condition at all
Apart from above has a champion D16plug in it

Yes it is the Amal 416
Looks like I have found the problem

And tied so the brass ...

Carb has had a good clean up all back together as should be
Push the tickler to get the fuel going
Problem is that the fuel won’t stop flowing from the tickler

Get a transom bracket it will drop your engine a good foot

Thank you very much for your help Keith
20w50 it will be.
Kind regards.

Thanks.

Bought a thumbscrew lock for my 5hp seagull found out with the thumb screw being a flat bar.
The sliding bar lock is virtually useless is there any way to modify the flat t bar.
So the thumb screw lock can be used.
Thanks in advance.
