I am in the process of restoring an early 1970's British Seagull Silver Century two stroke outboard motor. It was buried in the back of an elderly relatives shed for thirty years, but after I cleaned and reset it's points and cleaned the accumulated gunk out of it's carburettor. Now it runs like a dream.
You just gotta love old technology, easily repaired with basic tools. New stuff is no good |
