Noisy Seagull

Post by RobMarks »

I think my seagull is extremely noisy, but this my first seagull so I don't really know?

Here's the vid anyway

sounds fine ----- just stand a bit farther away from it. I didn't see how deep it was in the water .Having it running at the correct depth makes a big difference to the sound

Sounds ok to me - but if you should want to reduce the exhaust noise, fit water injection and block-off the holes in the exhaust tube, as per the model 102. Then you'll just have the carburettor noise to deal with ...
