First time I've seen three mercs as back up for a Seagull or is that a reflection on the Seagull's reliability :hilarious:
Anyway reassembled,now I need a throttle cable,these Seagulls may be bullet proof,but they ain't havenaclue proof :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious:
no matter how bad it is,it can always get worse,I'm an optimist

That piston looks a bit mushed? At least the 40+ is popular so you can find bits. Enjoying the project, would have been in the bin by now here... :thumbsup:
