Welcome manos. The kingfisher is a very modern seagull, so not many people have taken them to bits. CharlesUK on this forum knows a lot about this particular model I believe.

Hello Adrian,

With Manos we had an unbelievable "barn find"!! We went to the lady that was running the Seagull branch until it closed and we buy all the parts that had left. The surprise was that we found one crank assembly for the kingfisher, at least the piston is the same like the one Manos has in his engine and the con rod is the seagull No3. That assembly is used but in quite good condition with no or almost no free play!

I think Manos will sleep with the crank assembly in his arms tonight :mrgreen:

Be gentle with that crankshaft!
