Re: works but !
1 rust in tank
2 brass tank= no rust in tank.
3 banjo filter blocked
4 carburettor blocked
5 fuel line blocked
6 bad compression
7 bad crank seals
8 weak spark
9 crank case leak
10 cracked block, I can go on.
You could have any model seagull, from one cylinder, two cylinder, electronic ignition to basic Villiers, fuel pump Yes-No, electric start?

Re: works but !
If you do indeed have a two cylinder Seagull then I would very much like to hear about it, and photos would be appreciated.
Otherwise it's most likely that your problem lies with the fuel supply.

Clean your carb, banjo filter and tank out of any debris and you may find an improvement.

Re: works but !
how do i get the crap out of the tank .taken it of the outboard now what ? dry it out then flush with petrol im i right ?
Re: works but !
You could use pea gravel in the tank, a good shake and remove all gravel, a good rinse out, job done.
Re: works but !
pea shingle + dishwasher tablet+hot water +latin american music and maraca practice will leave tank very clean------------------and destroy mesh filter on fuel tap----regards blue
Re: works but !
There you go Blue knows it all, I expect he will be more than happy to answer all your questions.
