Saving Old Seagulls

Reassembling,slowly,but getting there.A few bits ordered,like a banjo bolt filter.Was cleaning the carb,blew through with compressed air and a clinking sound at far end of the garage,and that much crap lying about I couldn't find it.Probably will fall of a shelf on the next clean up. :P This is a re...

Welcome aboard,but please please please don't do what I did,said I would never be a collector or buy another,but for some unknown reason I did....... :shock: :lol: :lol:,I was told a clean,a new plug and fresh fuel and away you go,some chance :lol: :lol: Still didn't stop me going again, :lol: good ...

Definitely need new impeller

We are moving forward,without too much damage :P Gear box drained and refilled,thanks Tam,then let drain until it was level with with filler opening,just in case anyone was wondering :lol: ,block opened and cleaned,thanks Tam.New rings on piston,thanks Charles UK. Removed the drive shaft as I needed...

Best investment I ever made,but I still managed to break a head bolt

The 'gull's going to lie 'til next week,She who must be obeyed has declared a Seagull free Easter weekend,good job she went shopping with daughter no2 this afternoon :P :P .I saw the pin and thought it was just holding a thrust washer,I most certainly learn something new everyday...about Seagull eng...

More questions.How in the name of God do I get the square drive out of this gear box? I have heated it,froze it,oiled it,soaked it in diesel,hammered it :oops: :oops: ,didn't break any more bits,no go. So if I want to replace the damage gasket,might it be easier to remove the impeller,probably destr...

And one other question,The throttle is twist grip,is this a Seagull or an add on?

Ok,crown wheel removed,cleaned and prayed for it.It is a 48 toothed wheel and some of them are pretty corroded,so now it looks like shaft and crown,not to mention the prop says CPC5.And I haven't looked at the carburetor or the ignition yet.Ah,the moment of madness

Thanks for the reply. I need the thrust washer and from looking at the parts list,yep found it this morning,and a bronze collar.I have most of the drive unit,I have it soaking in a tank of water,bread soda and hooked up to the battery charger hoping to loosen the rust on it. :twisted: Question,does ...

I have a parts manual somewhere but at the moment I can't lay my hands on it. So here's a couple of pics of the prop shaft ,prop and front casing. Apart from the gear box,what's missing?
And judging by the shape of the drive shaft I need a replacement

Ok I have taken the parts I need from the box and these are surplus to requirements.I am open to offers plus P&P or a swap for parts for 40 plus or as seen in my post about the Silver Century,a block.
The 40plus/minus head is the only thing used.

And a few more photos

Ok,so I pulled it apart,it could have been worse,but could have been a lot better,butter fingers here let the block fall,ok it was cracked but I know a good welder,now he would need to be a miracle worker. There are bits missing but I haven't worked it out yet.

I had a similar problem,it turned out to be the wire from the points to the wipac coil were hanging on by a thread in the coil.Only a thought
