Saving Old Seagulls

Have you got a pic of the part so we know the shape to look out for?
Is it a Tomas OR a Tomos outboard?

Looking sweet!

You have a very nice looking engine!

I mentioned "Do Not Touch the Gearbox"........................I mean that!

Why do you say not to touch the gearbox?

I found this in a write up about the area today! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge/Chris/Seagull/onehunga-9.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge/Chris/Seagull/IMG_31611.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge/Chris/Seagull/20151114_095310.jpg This Is how w...

Yesterday was the official opening of a 'new' public space in Auckland - New Zealand. In recognition, some well-seasoned Seagullers and I spent the day at one of the beaches in the area. It was a great opportunity to meet others with the same obsession! 10 boats assembled in 2 classes (4.5hp & s...

I heat up the bolt so it is red hot... The bolt expands breaking the seal of corrosion. It takes a bit to melt the aluminium in open air. If your concerned about the aluminium melting put some wet clay around the area, it works like a heat sink.

Well I missed out on the Minor on trade me :( I went up to $400 and my wife said that was enough! So I will put the pics back up so all can see what I did not get. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge/Chris/Minor%20motor/422749738%201.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge/...

I took the pics down will add them again later!

Mine has the same 2 small holes, it had a scrappy bit of rusty thin steel bolted to it. Looks like it may have been a pointer of sorts (not the orignal) The tiny bolts look far too small to hold any leaver. I ended up making a head gasket out of copper, I could have a go at making one like the orign...

Interesting! On my engine the casting has some grinder marks (probably where the casting was fed from) I wondering if the casting may have been broken at this point and that is where the leaver was attached? That is also the same side the mixer is on! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge...

You should be able to get that back and running with a bit of wet and dry sand paper!
I have seen a Lot worse than that!!!

RRR yes my is the same as yours!


there is little grub screws in the two casting lumps either side of LONDON. My guess is holding a bush for the drive shaft (I have not had that apart)

Do you know if it is a 55deg thread or 60deg?
Keep looking for a bit. If you cant find one I will make it for you.

your lower leg looks the same as mine only mine has a standard looking brass nut with a brass shear pin bent at the ends like you say. I will post a pic later. Thanks for putting the parts in the post. It is a bit later! Mine is in bits at the moment Im cleaning it up as fast as I can. http://i22.ph...

My 102 is the nicest gull I own But my silver century is the roughest looking fastest and most used I blame CharlesUK for getting into gulls! He talked me into it!!! (thanks heaps :) ) I will try and put a pic up later... going to glue some bits on the boat. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/ma...
