The place to buy British Seagull spare parts!
To obtain parts, first you need to have identified your motor This link will take you to pages that will help. Try checking the engine number against the list. I would like to know the number when you telephone me.
2018, I finished the second half of my long sailing trip, to complete my round England, Wales and most of Scotland trip, 'Fiddling Around'.
You can read view the log via the link below, click the logo.
This takes you to both parts of my round UK trip.
From now on staying closer to home!
Full range of all Seagull parts available. Contact me for prices.

Sadly February 2025 prices have risen on some parts by more than double!
I will try to modify some of the prices here... but some may be out of date.
In addition to normal parts I have remanufactured hard to get parts and some in s/s especially where Seagull no longer sell them. I also keep a stock of used parts, especially where castings and the like are no longer available.
Below are a sample of prices, please contact me for any part not here and I will give you prices. I normally keep all these parts and more, but due to the large demand sometimes I maybe out of stock awaiting delivery, supply etc.
None of these parts include P&P, as owners often put together a wish list of parts. Minimum P&P. charges generally kept as low as I can.
Have added a link to a converter so you can compare prices in your part of the world!
Thanks to Hans for this suggestion.

but....
Villiers ignition coils...
Speak to George at www.villiersparts.co.uk
He is the only man to sell these newly made ones, any others seen for sale are old stock and very suspect.. they can fail just sat on the shelf, they maybe are good for 20 years only.... the shellac insulation on the old ones was biodegradable. and as the last ones were made in 1967..... Not surprising I hear of Villiers coil failures almost every day.

Sadly, or maybe not
sadly, as these were not that clever, they are no longer available... But I

Replacement
rotary fuel tap £7.50 replaces the plastic
'pull for on taps'. Still not as robust as the repairable metal ones!
But a lot cheaper. (push fit on hose).
Fuel Tap overhaul kit, including that tiny screw you normally lose on the

Sadly no cables for the earlier Villiers levers, the long thin brass levers on 1950's motors. If you have one of these ether swap the lever for a later one or take the remains of your cable to an old fashioned motorbike shop, if you can find one, and get them to make you a replacement.

the plug cap screws on, simply make a dent in the end of the lead, in the copper
core and screw together, then remove to check screw is into copper and refit,
this time with some waterproof sealant. Then it becomes waterproof!

electrical tie. (They do not fall off if you seal with silicone).

Metal one for the model 102, £20.00. Only a few left!
QB rotors available again, British Seagull have had new ones made, £22.00, discounted.
Before you assume the pump is broken, do try back flushing the motor, so many ask for rotors only to find it makes no difference as the waterways were choked! See the FAQ page!!
Caution! All plastic rotors must be slid onto clean and greased shafts by hand, do not hit with a spanner, they are brittle... to further assist, drop the rotor in your mates hot tea for 2 minutes before fitting, it will soften it slightly!

October 2024, Royal mail postage increases.. prices are going up again sadly..
Postal conditions for overseas customers.
For overseas postage to destinations other than Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries where the postal services have an excellent reputation, I send normal air mail. Other places I now insist on tracked postage, at extra expense, and can take no responsibility for non arrival of parts. I will supply tracking details and customers must trace and seek their own compensation if a parcel fails to arrive. This unhappy situation has been forced on me because a customer claimed he failed to receive a parcel in South Africa and claimed his money back from PayPal, even though I had proof of posting etc. I cannot afford to give spares away for free.
I will try to answer queries by e-mail of course, but I might ask you to speak to me on the phone to positively identify your motor. There are quite a lot of motors that do not have the correct engine numbers, due to the swapping of parts so common with these engines. This causes all sorts of problems, as there are carburetor and ignition differences that I should be able to identify from your number, so please forgive me if I ask silly questions about your motor.
I work from home in the heart of the Dengie peninsular, Essex. 99% of my customers deal with me by post. But if you can find Tillingham and want to call in, give me a ring, I am just south east of the village.
I can normally supply most parts new, some hard to get parts, that are out of production, can sometimes be sourced second hand. I try to keep a fair stock of usable old part you might have to clean them up your selves though!
Mail or phone me for parts I will give you an e-mail link for online payment, or you can pay by cheque by post
PayPal payments accepted! I send out a PayPal invoice link and using this you can pay with any credit or debit card securely on line. (Or a PayPal account!).
This means you can pay using major credit cards, and from overseas as well.
(For UK customers I still accept cheques and P.O.'s, contact me for address and postage prices.)
I will send your parts by first class mail, or if over weight, by Parcel Force. My P&P prices are some of the cheapest you will find.
You will have to forgive me if you do not get your parts back inside 24 hours, I only get one post a day here, and that is often too late for me to catch the post out locally!
.
If I am not answering the phone, this might give you a clue to where I might be given half a chance! Out sailing!!
Please look through the 'FAQ' page first, you might find what you need there.
Try also the 'I. D. your British Seagull' pages, before mailing queries to me, as I now have to spend much time answering your e-mails! That, of course, keeps me from the workshop! UK queries may be better by phone, as I can ask you those extra little questions that might solve a problem easier. (Like why your 102 has a century plus gearbox!)
