Saving Old Seagulls

If you repaint the tank, don't make it too shiny and it will look the part. Or just a basic refurbish, with the right era tank cap, HT lead and plug cap. I did wonder about the tank cap, which one should it have? The HT lead and plug cap were replaced while I was working to get it going, I still ha...

I saw the label, the instruction book, I noticed how good the tank looked, I also noticed it has signs of being repainted, I noticed how far away from me it was and how many questions had been asked about it, I was still tempted to bid on it when I saw it at 70 odd quid, but I didn't am I an addict?...

Well that went for a LOT more than i was expecting! The paperwork was quite interesting however, did anyone spot that... As for coils i shall be trying Hugo's method he posted a little while ago, readily available,quite affordable by comparison, and worth a try i think. Jon I think maybe everyone s...

on here at a buy it now price of 1p

I'm sure I read on here that the diameter needed is no longer available, but someone with a lot more knowledge than me will know for sure

Or just keep it original

Still deciding what to do next, I am thinking it might be an idea to upgrade this one, if I keep an eye out for a better exhaust and drive tubes, I should get on to John and order a new throttle cable, maybe have a go at repainting the tank, I see I can get little forty transfers from John maybe rep...

https://youtu.be/Ml6EGf1OOIs This is the first running, it isn't pumping water but a few seconds later the water flowed just fine another video to come, it ran until the fuel ran out and for this test I put an 8/1 mix to make sure it got plenty to lubricate the piston next video https://youtu.be/460...

Downloading it off my phone right now, it will be up here shortly It starts first time runs perfectly, even stops when I turn the throttle down, I also notice just how quiet it is. Just replacing the gear oil then going to see how it runs with the prop attached, a special thank you to Tam and Jon fo...

It's not a Seagull, I'm not sure what it is but

Without resorting to eazystart or WD40 a few pulls and it fired, I didn't run it for more than a few seconds as I don't have time today
Thanks everyone you are amazing

Some people are experts, some people listen and learn as they go, some people have the knack of knowing how to fix things, Then there are people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a Seagull, ME! When I put it all back together I dIdn't connect the throttle cable correctly so the valve piston was...
