Liven up
I just thought I’ll liven up the site a little and one of the reasons I’m on here,
An unrestored 78cc 1934 Marston OF Super Lightweight Seagull with forward, neutral and reverse, working as it should.
Sorry Charles, I just couldn’t help it

Re: Liven up
Don't apologize to me Rene, if I had a long shaft OF, I think I'd be showing it off!
Very nice!

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Re: Liven up
Very nice Rene, Jealous. I still need an OP, ON or SD tank for my OP. All going to plan i will have some threads to put up next week that some may be interested in Need to get the motors back home first.
Also Rene i would be interested on an update on the OP restoration you started a year or so ago, i was following it to rebuild my own one.
Here is an SD for people to look at but its not near as interesting as Renes OF!

Re: Liven up
I like green bits on SD’s
Re: Liven up
I didn’t restore this one, a friend of mine did and made a cracking job of it, not many long shaft OA’s
Re: Liven up
How many of the Marstons had the copper top?
Very nice motors indeed

Re: Liven up
Marstons never came with a copper top but it came to me like that, so I thought I’ll leave it
Re: Liven up
Is that the correct Marston tank decal? I thought the bird one came on later models ON, OP etc ? Cracking engine though
Re: Liven up
This particular OA is one of the last ones, maybe it should have had the earlier script version decal but who knows...
I’ve just had a look and I have an OA from 1935 (OA 483.4.302) that has traces of a flying seagull on the tank also I found this pic of an OK which were manufactured in 1936...ish. The OK model was the last of the teardrop Marstons

Re: Liven up
I’ve posted this photo once before on the old forum before all the photos were lost.
A flock of Marstons Seagulls, a few wrong props and tanks but mostly there, things have changed a little since and I’ll try to get an updated photo when the wether warms up a little.

Re: Liven up
I’m looking forward to tidying up my OG, the tank needs completely redoing but everything else will be given a light clean and left as is.

The original test manuals from the experimental bridging unit at Christchurch SD and HSD engines. Later to become 102 and 102 plus.
