Thanks guys, I did replace the seals, I tried sash cord and a few other things but ended up using Telecom rope,stuffed in as much as I could, turned the motor over to jamb it up against the valves, made a tool to compress the springs and the rest was easy...

I need a motor for my F5A...ASAP. . If anyone has one in good condition can you email me at maxandvon@hotmail.com..Thanks.

How hard is it to remove the crankshaft pulley with the engine in situ. There is obviously no room to get a puller in there and probably the same with the water pump???

Thanks Brayden..

I need to replace the valve stem seals on my SS40T and I read somewhere that it can be done without removing the head using a special tool??? Has any one done this and if so could you let me know how?

O.K. I don't mind if it's a short motor because I have a very sad SS40T in my MB at the moment. If you decide to sell let me know Max at maxandvon@hotmail.com.....Cheers.

How much for the engine only ???

Thanks for your replies, I think I have just about eliminated fuel,I'll have another look at the electrical side of things....When it runs it's a popping sound like it might be trying to run on two cylinders, but not knowing much about these little things i don't know if they would run on two???

My Mighty Boy has been running perfectly untill the other day when it coughed, missed, splutterd then completely stopped. First thought fuel blockage, completely cleaned the carby, no go, in fact replaced it with a spare one, still no go, checked all vacuum lines,fuel pump,blew the fuel line back to...

Thanks for that,it's just a pity it's so far away, I think I will just have to keep looking and hope something turns up nearer home mainly because I don't have room to put a whole car body where I live.

Hi Mate sounds good, how much do you want for it? My other big problem would be how to get it down here to Byron bay....???? Any suggestions!

Pretty sure it's not valve stem seals because it doesn't blow smoke on start up, only under load towards the top of the rev scale????
