Saving Old Seagulls

Hi Smutts Good work! Would you be able to post some pics of your Seagull? It might be worth mentioning that you should entertain removing the head so you can have a look at/clean out the water galleries on your motor, if you have been following the thread about the CP on here then you will see how t...

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Could you post a pic of the carburettor your motor currently has fitted?
The WSPC's had either an AMAL 416 carb or an AMAL twin-jet carb I believe.

I have attached pics of both types of carbies below.
Thanks to SOS for the exploded diagram

Hi all A bit quiet on here recently so I thought i'd try and get some discussion happening... What was your first ever outboard motor? The very first that you got... Probably not all going to be Seagulls, so we'll see what happens. My first one was a 1968 5hp Johnson (Australian edition). Bought it ...

If I was to buy it I'd only tidy it up make sure it runs and move it on as long as I could sell it to cover my costs of buying it shipping it to me and what ever parts it would need to put it right. I don't really need another engine but I do like working on cars etc and enjoy getting things that d...

Double post removed.

Oh right that's handy to know I'm really not sure what they are worth but I need to find out what the shipping will cost and how much the parts will cost me to buy to fix it to know if it's worth my while in buying it. In honesty it looks to be in good order I've seen worse but worries me that's it...

Hi Ross

The parts that are missing from the 40+ are relatively easy to get.
I am the person on this forum who collects data from the SJP model 40+ motors.

Do you have the pics and serial number of the motor in question?

Cheers
BP

What was the original means of generating a spark?

Originally there was a buzz box and external battery to power the motor, after 1915 you had the option of having a flywheel magneto but still an external battery.

No more hi-jacking from me S!

Hello and welcome to the Forum! We're a friendly bunch here and we don't bite!!

I'm sure that our Little 40 expert will get in touch with you shortly to collect some data from your motor.

Looking forward to those pics, what serial number is your motor?

All the best
Cheers

Bacon & eggs does the trick Spiro!!

Maybe the fact that they're both painted white has something to do with it...
