Re: seagull 40+
proceed with caution. You should only use this mixture if you are getting a nice fat spark but you may also get chips in the gears.

Re: Gearbox oil
My first wife was a manager of one of floors in Bewleys in Grafton st. I used to over quite a bit before we were married.
The black stuff in the pubs in Dublin needed 20 minutes rest before you could drink it.
You could stand a spoon up in it.

Re: Gearbox oil
I do not believe you want a special high pressure oil in a seagull. You local garage should have ep140 or maybe a framers/crofters supplies.
I have been to Aberdeen and I am almost certain that some of the fish and chips shops are using the right sort of oil

Re: No spark
I had a very poor spark on my Century and tried the socket and drill thing. It does work . Take the plug out though. I sprayed some wd40 down the plug hole . Only use a cordless drill and you will need a steel bar to suit the socket end and turned to take the drill chuck. Wap it up to full speed for...

Re: LEAKING GEARBOX
Another thing. The only way to remove all the grease is to remove the crown wheel and shaft. To do that you must remove the thick brass washer and pin.
Best of luck. It is not rocket science as a seagull is built like a brick toilet.

Now cleaned up and awaiting new gasket but it may be that the grease was to hide a leak. So my advice is to ...

Re: GEAR OIL OR GREASE
It is likely to be emulsified oil. Mine looked the same after long turm use in seawater and lack of use for a few years. Fill up in normal way with 140 and carry on regardless
