How to change the throttle cable on my seagull outboard?

June 1966.

4 Horsepower was published, but "later investigation proved that Horsepower stated was wildly inaccurate"

check for level on the side next to the cowl or just under the cowl

Replace the control cable, they get rusted inside, have seen this many times.

If your old engine/control has the same 'options' as the30hp, yes everything is compatible... (Electric start or trim )
The throttle and shift cables are allways compatible...

with a flywheel puller

Check Air screw On Carb Or It Could Be Lower Crank Shaft Seal

Look up Saving Old Seagulls and IGNORE the rubbish that some jokers have posted (Seagulls don't have an engine check light!) Most Seagulls have constant mesh gearing. Lubrication is by 140 grade gear oil. If you cannot get this, ST90, EP90 or Hypoy 90 will do, the important thing is to use a heavy oil NOT GREASE not even the semi-fluid grease used on weed-wackers (they have ball bearings but a Seagull has bronze bushes) The "clutch" on some Seagulls is basically a fork which puts the gears out of mesh, there are no clutch plates. Good luck!.

Hi, basically it depends on the control box you have. On some you can fit the shift cable in 2 different positions, each one alters whether the cable pushes or pulls when you shift the gear lever. On others it cant be changed(not common). Regards Phil.

engine runs but prop doesnt turn ?
