Seeing as this is a forum about Non Air Transport Issues, would anyone care to correspond about...yachting?
I am seeking a workshop manual for a Finnish-built 1949 Vire 6hp marine engine which sometimes runs in my 1909-built sailing yacht.
The engine has become extremely cantankerous and refuses to start at the most inconvenient times: ie when trying to get to a pub before closing time when the wind drops.
It needs a good strip down and rebuild but I am reluctant to do so without first studying a manual. A PPRuNe chum in Finland has been trying to find a Vire manual for me, but because the engine is so ancient, such books are no longer in print, even in Finnish!
The alternative is to get a marine engineer to do the work at vast cost.
Cheers and yo ho ho
