Saving Old Seagulls

Good evening, I just thought I'd introduce myself, my name is Richard and I'm from Leigh-on-sea in essex, I have just purchased a seagull and am looking forward to giving it a run, the serial number is LLS 322C3.
I've had a look at the forum and there's a lot of information which no doubt will prove very useful.

Hello and welcome to the forum we all like pictures china

Thanks, I'll put some pictures on here as soon as I can

Photos as promised

Welcome aboard

Regards,
Spiro

I actually got to tinker with my engine yesterday, checked the spark, nice fat spark on the plug, happy days, I decided to change the throttle cable as it had seen better days, removed the slide from the carb and noticed that the needle screw was about 1 1/2 turns above the level of the plunger, it this normal as in the manual it says it should be flush?
