The EFPC should be fitted with the Amal 416 carb, & the main jet should be numbered 95.
Can you confirm that this is correct?

With the fuel tank half full of the correct petrol mix (25 : 1) remove the black plastic float bowl which just unscrews, open the fuel cap air vent & turn on the petrol tap ...

I think I preferred the plywood bonnet, & as an Austrailian member stated "nice legs" shame they're not on display.

If it is still reluctant after doing all Rick suggests.

Replace the 5/16 pinch bolt but from the wrong side ( from the threaded side first not the unthreaded side as it should be) when the pinch bolt starts to protrude from the thread in the water pump housing insert a 20p coin into the central ...

Bruce you've got it bad mate!
And you might find it difficult to find a Seagull addiction counciller (if I could spell it) way out there in the far flung reaches of the old British Empire.

John you might well find that a good used cylinder will cost you more than a resonable complete motor.
Try John He often has them & also stocks new ones.

Perhaps you should just strip this motor for spares, which are always worth having, & start looking for a runner.

There are several styles of male & female tank fittings, just find the cheapes ones you can, a 1/4 BSP barbed fitting would do the job for a lot less money if you can find one.
In that case you would just have to push the fuel pipe on to it & hold with a cable tie or a jubliee clip.

Just remember ...

Remote tank fitting to standard fuel cap

Due to the Century's lack of a fuel pump it is not possible to fit a remote tank in the normal way without considerable engineering work on the crankcase.

A lot of Seagull racers fit a remote tank by modifing an old fuel cap to permit a remote tank hose fitting connector to be screwed into the fuel ...
