Saving Old Seagulls

owned my 1st seagull at age 17, now 58

Adrian Have you checked the local REPCO agent at Kingston as I get all my penrite oil through repco, according to the penrite site t140 is still stocked

I use the penrite transoil T140 a a straight mineral oil and don't seem to have any problems with it, I read that you use synthetic gear box oil from penrite

with the well does the motor sit down inside of it because if it does it won't suit a seagull very well as it will choke on its own fumes

I just use whatever washer and split pin that fits, at the moment I am using stainless as that is what I have laying around

I had a 102 with the odd code of NS1 on the bottom and SD on the top, it was a late model 102 with a clutch, same as a TC

so does this mean this fuel would be good for storage of 2 stroke which means no disposing of stale fuel
