Saving Old Seagulls

cool....how far can one go tuning these little strokers....would a reed block have any advantage etc

Not seen any on his web page but will drop him a line. Many thanks

looking to source some fibre washers to fit the amal 2 carb plus float bowl chamber any idea who as the or sizes please

my century plus was the same.....ultrasonic cleaned the carb and float chamber and made sure everything was spotless...
remove ht lead and check it has continuity between both ends.
where the ht lead fits into the coil i cleaned the contact with a dremel and refitted everything.
mine fired up first ...

Looking for a 5 bladed prop please.

point taken if not broken leave alone lol

what does the board think of this subject....
shall i run a short pipe or one that enters the water....which is best for the engine

cheers rolf for that.....i have an old starter handle so i will source some strong 6mm rope now

nearly restored my century plus just need to do petrol tank and flywheel etc....i know its best to use the proper seagull pull cord but i have an old pull cord here so was wondering how thick is the original one please so i can compare

probably best to be honest but like others i do have a curiosity feature lol....is 140 the best or can you go heavier etc.....just wondering

i know i should use 140 oil but i heard they was a grease you could add to sae90 to bring it up to 140 grade....does anyone know the name of this grease and mixing ratio etc.
i have lots of sae 90 at work so this might be a cheap option

lol.........brought one as a spare

Bought 2 x NGK AB6 in the end lol

On my century plus standard plug is the d16 I believe but been recommended to use the d6 or d6a. Your thoughts welcomed

sorry chaps but forgive my terminology as this is my first seagull....anyway tube is now off and so is the square section rod that the impellor sits on.
engine alloy as now been cleaned and waiting for the next section to work on.
i must confess having steve from leeds marine within a mile from me ...
