Re: SD restoration
Had another session today. Gave the top end a general clean using WD40 and a brush. The water jacket zinc coating is still in place and in fairly good condition. It's making me wonder whether it will will need any more work externally. I also got the flywheel cover off and gave it an initial scrub, ...

Re: PISTON RING,S
I've used oven cleaner to soften up the carbon deposits in the past. Also a long soak (couple of days at least) in penetrating oil of some sort should help. If you can get a very small electricians screwdriver under the end of the ring after soaking for a few days then the ring should slowly prise o...

Re: SD restoration
I have just had a further session getting to know this engine. I've taken the carb off and discovered the threads in the carb body are no longer there. As I have another 102 waiting major surgery, I have managed to reclaim the carb body from that engine, so will will be able to use original float ho...

Re: SD restoration
Thanks H-A. I've put oil in the crank case and cylinder and turned the flywheel slowly. It's freeing up nicely. I'll take a look at the points next week and see if a spark can be found... In the meantime I'll be checking what what the original spec should be. One things for sure, it's going to be a ...

SD restoration
Hello all. I have just obtained SD 2589L3. Condition is reasonable, will rotate, albeit stiffly but is without a gearbox. The engine has obviously been sat for years, but under a coat of dirt the condition seems reasonable. I'm planning a nut and bolt rebuild, but will do a little research first. Th...

Re: Help I need to make some space so I'm selling some Seagulls.
Thanks, I'm keeping an eye open at the moment. I just got a very clean and original late 1970s 40 plus with clutch from just down the road on ebay, without a tank, so patience seems to be the key!
What would tempt you to think about a swap?

Re: Help I need to make some space so I'm selling some Seagulls.
I meant one of the 102s produced for the navy with bronze bits.
Would anyone know of a suitable engine for sale? I would be looking to restore to original condition.

Re: Help I need to make some space so I'm selling some Seagulls.
Finally got my first seagull for myself. A 40plus with clutch, short of a tank. Bought it on ebay as a project, but it is far too good too strip down! A full service and clean, plus a tank and that will be ready to use. The century gearbox parts are at work being blasted and dipped, and will be havi...

Re: Help I need to make some space so I'm selling some Seagulls.
Fair point, I'm half way between Derby & Nottingham, but I sail out of Ipswich for a sail training scheme. The seagull I'm restoring is for a friend from Colchester who has an historic Hilyard 1/4 tonner also under restoration. I'm keen to help keeping the old girls going! Thats the Seagull and ...

Re: Help I need to make some space so I'm selling some Seagulls.
Hi Charles, The seagull I'm repairing is a century serial number LLSL664N6. Long shaft, but no clutch. The exhaust tube is 16" long, is that right for a long shaft? I wondering if it has been chopped? I've now got it fully stripped down. The top end is fine, apart from blocked up water passages...

Re: Help I need to make some space so I'm selling some Seagulls.
Hi, first time post! I'm looking for spares for the century I am rebuilding for a friend. I'm after a transom clamp, decent drive shaft tube, gearbox spares, in particular a crown gear, or even a complete gearbox (no clutch) for a century longshaft. I'm also looking for a suitable project engine for...
