Hi…
i have a Seagull 102 (manufactured ~ 1958-59, Silver flywheel, Serial number: TC62513) which came with the wrong carburetor. I don’t
have 102 parts manual and I need to get the right carb, cable & fittings, and washer that goes under the dome nut. My original Villiers coil is toast and I am trying to replace the whole ignition system with a newer style if possible.
1) Can any one tell me what the parts number and/ descriptions for the correct carb, cable, and washer? I am trying to source those parts now. I will be ordering a parts list from John shortly but I would like to get started now.
2) I have a copy of the BS 59 page service manual which consists of many service sheets, one of which depicts the SEAGULL-AMAL TWO-JET CARBURETOR. Might this be the correct carb?
3) That same service manual has a description and parts diagram of the MARK I (VILLIERS) IGNITION ASSEMBLY which looks like mine. Would this be correct?
4) Was there a service manual specific to the 102?

Re: Seagull 102
Here is what it looks like. What is the best way to safely remove some corrosion found on the magneto base plat and the flywheel?

Re: Seagull 102
I got this from a guy who had installed a completely unrelated carburetor. After doing some research, I discovered that it arrived with L&L Manufacturing S1 carb, originally supplied to Harley Davidson for their Hummer early ‘50s vintage bike. It turned out that some Harley fans were very interested in getting this carb and I ended up selling it for quite a bit more than I originally paid for the engine.

Re: Seagull 102
Yes the ignition is a Villiers Mark 1 (MK1).
M1269 Washer For Dome Nut is the part number and description.
An Amal 2 Jet Carb as per your service manual was originally fitted, part number is 46N.
The Amal 46N at a 10:1 fuel:oil ratio was superseded by the Amal 416 which ran at 25:1. Both are available used. Depending on condition and plans for the motor either would be acceptable for use. If bushings are worn a heavier mix might help seal the shafts while running. The 46N can also be converted to 25:1 by changing a jet which John at SOS can supply.
Throttle cable part number for the 46N is S557.
Not aware that there was a specific service manual for the 102, given similarities across the BS model range.
