Saving Old Seagulls

hi all it works but only on choke any help any one please

Fords have always been a bit like that, I would get a Volvo.








A lot more info please on what you have.

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?

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.

thats a good question what is it got it yesterday .engine number is WS809HH6 .its a silver i know that and i think its a 4.5 hp it cannot find it on the seagull identifier

Silver Century, August 1976.

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

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 ?

You could use pea gravel in the tank, a good shake and remove all gravel, a good rinse out, job done.

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

There you go Blue knows it all, I expect he will be more than happy to answer all your questions.

that just about does it job done thanks every one for your help another seagull lives !!! till we meet again
