both to unFOUL the plug and a quick start aid
hot plug trick remember 1 to 10 the plug is always foul
and to heat bend the drive spring to reuse a busted one

if it ain't witworth or odd sized it likely will break if looked at hard

real advice sell it as a wall mount decoration
and skip the COPD from the oil
and buy a jap 4 stroke

still have one like that but no sparks and short shaft

if a person needs a seagull they best have 2

as far as I know they died years ago
parts are few and high priced now

Step one is converting to 25:1 with a different needle.

Torch; check
Kroll; checked
Wit worth tools: check

Fixing it as a present for a friend for his vintage dingy
