Saving Old Seagulls

So in your opinion all silver centurys are the same.

Well I've learnt something today, Thanks!

Need more info

Which power head ?
Which gear box, which gear ratio?

102 cc Seagulls will run down to about 45 lbs compression.

Bear in mind compression gauges are not scientific instruments so if yours reads 40lbs don't despair just start it, if it starts on easystart it will run on petrol, just remember easystart has no oil in it.

Clean the entire fuel system, fuel tank, fuel tap, fuel pipe, carb, after everything is spotless blow it out with an air line. The cordless drill is a last chance remedy, do not use until you've tried everything else, cleaned & set points, renewed plug lead & plug & ensured that fuel is ...

That's right Graham & how can it possibly get there? Split in the water delivery pipe, Lose water pipe retaining nut, Loose fit of water delivery pipe in water pump housing, Crack in water jacket around exhaust port. All this means splitting the engine from the leg & removing exhaust tube fo...

We no longer seem to have a member called pistonbroke.

Don't know what happened there.

I think your going to have to strip the exhaust system it sounds like you have a problem with the water delivery tube inside the exhaust tube.

The water delivery tube has been known to split on rare occasions due to vibration.

I'd mark the whisky barrel as 8/10 the best I've seen so far!

None of the administrators removed it to my knowledge, Graham.

Hugz picture of his attractive & novel outboard stand, should still be there, rest assured we only remove out & out rubbish like mobile phone adds & spam.

In my "sell when I can be bothered pile"

I have an good running LS that is only missing the transom bracket.

If anyone has an interest pm me your landline number & I'll give you a ring.

Aalco can get 28mm 316 stainless 2mm wall at over £50 per meter min order 6 meters, so why would you bother. To replace the tube you'd be faced with the cost of boring out the motor mount casting, braizing in the stainless replacement & hope that the pinch bolt will squeeze up the extra 23 thou ...

Nice bit of work Rob on the diameter change.

Which prop are you using?

Seagull's own figures show that the longshaft version of a motor produces 2% more power than the short, thats why we don't reduce the exhaust volume.

There are no bolt on performance parts for any of the Seagull powerheads.

Take it to bits & it will become self explanitory.

Thanks for the kind offer Rob I think I'm just about allright for props.

This is not counting probably all the rest of my motors that are wearing their props, well all except 1!

The only one I'm aware that I don't have is the 13 inch 4 blade 102 + Barge pusher.

I think you might find on inspection inside the gearbox that the clutch dog is spinning on the prop shaft as it's broken the shear/retaining pin that holds it, so RBT is right it doesn't have one, "now". The oil in this gear box should be EP 90. This is what can happen if the revs are too ...
