Saving Old Seagulls

thanks for all your replies.
Keith: thats not the right engine. i have the mini 2. 9hp single
i will be going down the boat tomorrow ill post up some pics

That sounds very much like that's your problem, but not knowing exactly what you have done...

thank both of your for your replys.

i think the pump is set up properly - i have got all the same shims as it had before i removed it and that is the only possible variable there.

on the throttle rod ...

hi all,
its not related to my trusty seagull, but i do have a problem with a 1980 solè mini 2 diesel inboard.
i removed the engine and remachined the throttle control rod which was siezed and ever since it has not run properly. engine will start, run poorly for about 30 sec then stall.
has anybody ...

hi all, not much been happening here! i am getting a puller made up (Dad's an engineer!!!) now i have found a distraction in the form of a car crash - should be back on the case in a month or so

Thanks for the continued interest

Happy new year!
Mike.

i've got some pics to share at long last... [/quote]

yes i got the manual - thankyou!! :D :D

the nut was likely not the original then as it was just a standard Hex nut, does that mean i am going to need a flywheel puller after all?

i does look like the rope sheave is original at least it has the anzani logo in the top, although it is fastened to ...

ok, CRC that would be something like WD40??

shouldnt the starter plate be removed, i can see no advantage to it being left on when clubbing the thing with a hammer??

Thanks, for the replies

It is a unitwin 10HP with the amal carb

Collector Inspector, you say the usual under flywheel service - but how do i get flywheel off?
I can and have removed the rip-cord bit and loosened the bolt on top (with much grunting!!) but the flywheel dont wanna budge!

hi there ive got an old and poorly Anzani unitwin in need of some help!!

There is no spark, but there is - or at least was some life in her yet! there was enough juice to give me an electric shock, but not enough to make a spark - any one got any ideas??

does it need a new coil - can i even still ...
