Tambikeboy - excellent illustration - just what I needed! Pat777 - fabulous video - found out that I did have spring inside already and the needle in #2 - so oil ratio is 25:1 Wouldn't mind to get needle #1.....less oil in the gas - right now lots of it is running down the exhaust tube.

yes, it is put together in wrong order - wander what the right order is. I am staring in the diagram and can't see where the taper needle spring should be going - not where it now - that' for sure. There is already one spring pushing the slide down - that's #6 Throttle Valve Piston Spring that goes ...

OK, I have not cut anything and "screw" the lead wire as far I would go. Hooked up the spark tester and was getting strong spark with every pull. Tried to start it up and Seagull did start after maybe 3rd pull - not bad. Rpm however was at max and would not go down much after lowering gas ...

WOW......would that be easy fix.
Have to run to work - but will look into it first thing tomorrow !
Thank you very much !!!

Looking for a repair person/shop in my area.
Seattle, Tacoma, Gig Harbor area in Washington State, USA
........need take the motor apart to get to ignition area....spark plug wire broken/disconnected inside.

SO using spark tester I have found that there was no spark. After maybe 20 pulls I saw 1 spark. Resigning to the fact that there is an ignition problem I was taking tester off. Then decided to see if there are some loose connection and pulled gently on lead wire - it came off - here are the pictures...

Here is my Feather Craft. Made new motor mount, trying to set up the right height for long shaft - looking back I am pretty sure I could adjust the height collar that Seagull has - not thinking - or thinking late

have not use my Seagull for few years - just not enough HP for the boat I wanted to use on. Got a 7.5 HP Johnson and is doing good job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0v27cB0uAE However I just got a 12' Feather Craft aluminum boat and that's when the Seagull would come handy. Well, had the motor r...

Sporty is looking great !!
I used to have a Suzuki GS750EX, so I will be watching your GS1100 progress :

here is my Road King and my son with his 2003 Dyne Glide

got some 1/8" thick cork and made some gaskets for the gas cap. Sealed tank may result in better running motor.

went out last night. Had problems keep it running at first. Died on me ....got it to start again and would run good on at least half open throttle....with two of us in the boat we were going 5mph according to GPS......I like that! Had a fresh gas mixed 25:1 with an old oil :x motor never run that ba...

went out again last weekend. had a 4' long tiller extension mounted....seems that steering with the motor is not that good, probably because of the long tiller. Not sure if I had the motor going full speed....the rpm did change once during running it. I ws expecting the boat go little faster - max H...
