Saving Old Seagulls

I've been buying all the no longer available 170 series parts I could find over the last 20 years, many of which I realize I'm never going to use.

So I'm going to have to move most of them on.

I have, all the following are new/unused 170 parts.

Piston sets (piston, rings, circlips & wrist pin)

Main bearing pairs (top & bottom)

Crank shafts

Con rod castings (unmachined)

CDI Mk4 ignitions

Mk4 flywheels

Recoil starters

Amal 420 carb bodies & various other carb bits.

I also have several storage boxes full of used parts, trays covers, legs lower units, transom brackets.

Why not PM or email me to see if I have, what your looking for.

After a block for my 160...

Cylinder or crankcase?

If it's your cylinder, how bad is yours?

What is the correct chronological order of manufacture of the QB, 125/170 and 5R. Main site makes it a little unclear Thanks.

Somewhere I have a notebook full of date data, but don't ask me to find it.

170 series first, then the Qub's, the 5R was the last of the Qub's Jan 1993.

0 Compression with a badly pitted bore...

Wonder why they discontinued the cover on the top? Glad they did.

The 170 series were styled by Terrence Conran I was told, & that was why they went to the expense of a cover, tray & all the other components that this styling required.
