Saving Old Seagulls

i have no wawe around me:the sea is at 1000km!!
i'm interesting by motor and boat before ..........................1 month!!!!!!! (not really but....)
and i want a little motor for a little boat! for going on the river in my town!!
i see on Utube and 'le bon coin' (french-ebay!)and i discover the british seagull !!!
very nice motor :i like old motorcycle,bicycle,car,radio,girl,clock,......!
i think this is the "SOLEX" (french bicycle with a motor on the first wheel!) for water:very simple conception!!! good!

2 or 3 phone and i buy a LLS century at ................5 km of my home!!
i don't know if he's in a good state,but i'm enjoy and i want try to give a second life! ( or 3,or4,...) in first ,i clean it..and clean little piece

enjoy to be on the forum!!
(i'm french,and we have not a good reputation for the other's language........it's really but i try!!!!! )

Welcome on board!!

Your engine looks like being a pretty original example! In case it gives spark you are ready to go. Anything you need just ask.



Happy Seagulling!

Welcome to the forum, are you going to make a miniature copy of the LLS?
If so, it would be very interesting to see the finished article, looks like you have made a nice start.
Either that or its a big matchstick in the picture.


Bienvenue sur le forum, vous allez faire une copie miniature de la LLS?
Si c'est le cas, il serait très intéressant de voir l'objet fini, on dirait que vous avez fait un bon début.
Ou bien c'est un grand allumette dans l'image.

no no, only a little game for one day!!!!!
for put on my sailor jacket!
all the motor:a good challenge!
may be! (i have only 47 year's!! )

Very well made indeed, making any more , as for as the LLS, it looks nice and complete, give the tank and fuel system a clean out and as long as you have a spark, your should be up and running sooner than you think.
Best of luck.

thank's bruce!

Bienvenue in the forum!

I never thought to the comparison of the Seagull with the Velo Solex.It is true!.(I have a Solex).
I would add: The Seagull is the Deux Chevaux of the water! (I had a 2CV too).

You will see: the Seagull is the kind of old engine you fall in love with.

I see from the map that your beautiful town has many rivers and canals to explore.

Happy "navigation"!

Sandro

not easy when we live in the center of one town!!
the place for a little out-board is not very big but.........!!
for test the motor :important to have the beautyfull blue-tank and a little place for put it!! and after a "court(yard)"((google trad!)) under my appartment!! with rose's and wine's foot ,it's better!!!

enjoy from STRASBOURG in FRANCE!!

This setup is sweet, I like it!!

Have fun with the motor and maybe the neighbors. Some more oil in the mixture or just run it on WD40 instead of proper fuel. Everyone will love it!!!
