Newbie saying hello!

Post by Al Black »

Good morning everybody! Virtual cups of tea or coffee all round (too early for beer and pizza!).

I'm new to the forum and new to Seagull ownership having inherited a Stealth Seagull (no serial number) from my uncle. The number stamped on the flywheel casing identifies it as a1961 model, it looks like it's a direct drive Century Plus (there's no clutch and the big 4-bladed prop says 100PLUS, couple of big clues there!).

I'm quite looking forward to the restoration project (it hasn't been run for about 8 years), no doubt the forum will be getting bombarded with questions and updates as things proceed.

Cheers for now,

Al. :)

Hello from 'down under' an international forum!

Welcome.

Change the plug, replace the fuel and no doubt it will start on the second pull.

Cheers Hugo
