Saving Old Seagulls

Interesting discussion re the boat type/size for a Bass Straight crossing - I would think the hull (length/hog etc) should be matched to the wave or swell pattern that Bass Straight is known for. I know of an attempt to come down the Queensland coast into a swell where the propellor was often out of...

AC860 before assembly and side view

G'day Hugz, the old label is the 102 I''m trying to sell (AD860), if it does not go by the weekend I'll pull it. Check out Gumtree.

Here's a pic of the tank of a 102 I'm trying to sell ... what do I tell the buyer, if there is any, about the fuel mixture ?
and a pic of the tank of another.....

Thanks for that, i found a tap with a copper washer (dont have equipment to anneal copper) and re-positioned the straps. Yes it does look better that way.

Yes.

Oh, that's OK, I have more.

I've fially found enough parts to complete AC860 to sell, decided to put the clamps inside.

Thanks Hugz, Yes, I've seen that pic, it only works if the tap knob is pointing out, I've never been able to leave the tap in that spot because it leaks.

where should the bolt be ?

at the back for more protection ?
underneath ? (fouls the fuel tap)
between the tank and flywheel ?

The choke/cover screws onto the same thread that the shroud does for the Seagull. The carby has these numbers 22 028 and 4E0, incidentally I can't find any identifying numbers on the Amal carbies on my 102 Seagulls !

I recently came into possession of a box of bits ... The carby does not seem to match.

I understand ... I just hate to cut a boat up .... but when they have reached the end of their life ... its out with the saw.
