Saving Old Seagulls

Hello everyone, Picked up my engines today. the chap I bought them off says the 102 is a 1946. However, it has a standard oval brass tank, recoil starter, electronic ignition and a Amal 416 carb. When typing In the serial number it comes back as a January 1973 model. Will get pics tomorrow. Any idea...

Hi Tam,
Yes, I found one. I opened the PM then forgot all about it.
Anyway will let you know about the Fv parts and we can do a swap for something.

Jacob

I may have some parts, will let you know on the 10th when I collect my collection.

Jacob

What straps and plate? [/quote]quote]

I think he means a long range tank.

Jacob

Hi all,
I emailed John and now have the parts.

Jacob

Hi all,

PM me if you have one.

Jacob

Hi all,
I really need a new chrome drive leg for my clutched silver century plus restoration.
Please PM me if you have one or know where I can get one.

Jacob

Hi all,
In the process of stripping down my silver century plus but the only problem is the wipac plate is seized on. I have removed the locating screw with no luck. Then I removed the points and coil. and heated the base with still no luck.
Any ideas?

Hello Jon,

this may help.

Jacob

Hi all,
In the collection I've just bought there is a 102 labeled as a hybrid in the description. It has electronic ignition, recoil starter and standard brass tank.
Any idea of the age anyone?
Unfortunately I don't have the serial number and wont until I collect it in a few weeks.

thanks, Jacob

Hi all, Some may have seen my other topic on my new purchase, so therefore I will restore this century plus that this thread is about, as I now have most of the parts I will need. I stripped the whole thing down today and now have a few questions. My crankshaft has 3-4mm of up and down play, is this...

Hi all, Just thought I would share my new purchase that I made yesterday, some of your probably saw them on ebay. Wont be picking them up for a few weeks though. Also came with boxes of parts that I'm not putting photos up of. I plan to put the 40+ with mint chrome on my desk! After I remove the den...

Hi jon,
Yep I 100% agree with you, they are all worth saving. Yes I might be interested in your silver century if you can post it to me. If you want to sell it maybe PM me some pictures and a price.

Thanks

Dug the engine out from the back of the shed today and took some pics. I may have found a good donor engine but its one of the century style ones with the smaller gearbox and Villiers carb. I'm sure these have a proper name but I don't know it. Anyway will most of the parts be the same for a standar...

Hi all, I have just finished working on my clutched 40+ and have now turned my attention to the silver century that's sat at the back of the shed, I was given the engine a few years back, but when I stripped it down I found it had many issues and needed many parts. So I reassembled it to keep it all...
