Saving Old Seagulls

Hi, the piston on my silver century looks scuffed on quite a large proportion of it's surface. Is it ok to polish it up and fit new rings? It runs well however, but I' m concerned it might seize in the future. When I rotate the flywheel by hand , it feels a little tighter than it was an hours run ...

one more question.......Some time ago I saw some photos/images of various types of props in the posts, ,but cannot find the link now. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hello! I've been sorting 3 engines.....aTC102, a little forty, and a silver century. I had all tanks and carbs off for cleaning and then found that the little forty has the carb on the other side of the engine to the other two.

Thanks Andrew, I suspected that might be the case. I have a new coil and condenser, so maybe I 'll try and rebuild it as a villiers system.

Hello again after a long break, I am servicing my engines. I have been using a wipac system on my TC102. But I have a villiers flywheel that has much better magnetism. Can I use it on the wipac ignition plate?

Thank you , I think it will run fine!

unknown , I"ll fit it anyway!

Could someone identify this gearbox for me? It looks familiar, TC 102 perhaps? photo attached (I hope!)

Thats great, what have you got?

Wanted, silver century crankcase and crank assembly

Thank you very much. Very helpful....Red

Can you tell me the difference between a silver century and a century 100? Can I interfit parts, like crankcase to cylinder head? Thanks!

Ok, thanks Charles.
