I recently got an 1958-59 102 which was fitted with what looked to be a Villers carb. However, on closer inspection, I discovered it was a very similar looking carb made by L&L Manufacturing of Indianapolis, IN. In fact is an L&L S-1 carb which as fitted on Harley Hummers of the same vintage.
Does anyone known if Seagull supplied these or if its a garage mechanic’s later substitution. The carb is now worth more than the engine and I will probably throw on an Amal twin jet 46N.

Re: L&L Manufacturing S1 carb on 102
All 102's were fitted with an Amal 46 twin jet carb, heaps of pics on here.
Except a few very late models (post late 80's)that were fitted with an Amal 416 concentric float carb & CDI ignition.

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

Thanks to all.
I have a serviceable Amal that I will be installing as soon as I can verify that my coil is good. (Stranger things have happened...I can only hope.)
