what year is the thing, it is not likely that the two seals will fail at the same time, mite as well reseal the cases while you're thare, save you from goin back later.

its a 1992/3 one he tryed getting it rubbing after just doing the carbs butit wont run evenly the only way to get it running is to have a very fast tickover then slam it into gear but im not happy doing that, so he said its pulling air in from the crank seals as its been stood a few years so will have to replace the top and bottom seals plus the other gaskets whilst stripping the power head, thanks for info thoe

heard good things about them, think you got to split the cases any way to get to the end seals, let us know how you make out, save the old seals so we can look.

Paint seal your crankcase bolts with a small blob from a tyre pen-then at least you'll be able to see if he's actually taken it apart...

Selva 80 h.p. pulling air

The U.K. Selva web site is www.selvamarine.co.uk .. you can order spares etc via this site.

Yes if the motor has stood for a long period the crankcase seals may need replacement.

However, before replacing the crankcase seals, try fitting new diaphrams and gaskets in the fuel pumps. If this fail to improve matters then ii's probably the seals.

If you send me a private message with your postal address I will send leaflets covering setting up the carburation on this model which should help your Dealer.

Kind Regards.
