Saving Old Seagulls

Iv got the non auto focus one. stinger

I have a Nikon D40 and a Sigma DG 70 - 300mm lense which i bought about 5 years ago. The problem iv always had is that the camera does not auto focus with the Sigma lense. I remember the guy in the shop telling me that the lense would auto focus with the camera but this was not the case and ever ...

Thats some job. Prop looks cool.

I wonder would anybody else be interested in having a "Journals" section in the main board index. I think it would be excellent for people searching for specific engine types and also stop topics becoming lost in the never ending smaller issues in the help section.

Thats a nice engine there, I can see the difference with the carb. I like the trumpet look. Im hoping the steel tank can be salvaged and not too rusted inside. This weekend ill take better quality photos when iv got a chance to clean it up. White spirits all over and a wipe with a rag

I picked up the two motors this morning for £100. Both look in good condition, have good compression and turn free. Have now stored them at a friends shed until i move house on the 1st.

I will be restoring the SD and selling the 40 plus on.

A few pictures.

Thank you stelios, I don't know the status of either engine, I just talked to my guy and he said he would bring them up for a look. He also said he could not find the mounting brackets for the Sd but I may take them anyway and save a couple.

For an SD of this type could you tell me what to look ...
