British Seagull

[burt]

I acquired a British Seagull almost by accident today…went to look at a Johnson LT10, which proved to be locked up, and left with the Seagull instead. Is there a history of this unique motor anywhere online, beyond what I have found in Hunn’s book? 🙂

Everything you need to know is on the Saving Old Seagull website. Prepare to spend some time there!

Yes, get onto saving old seagulls. John has new and used parts for almost every model of seagull and can supply manuals for them as well. Also, try become a member of the SOS forum, where you can ask questions etc about your seagull.

There are two most common models, the 40 series and the 102 series. 40 series have a removable head with a square block and 102’s have a rounded block all cast into one.
The main problem with seagulls is that they corrode quite easily, so disassembling them can be quite a task if you don’t have heat.

Plug the engine no. of the seagull in here to find out what year, model etc it is.

Over here in Australia, seagulls are quite common.

Good luck with it.

I’ve heard the British Seagulls can become addictive so the other day I sold the Silver Century Plus I had to avoid the temptation. Gotta stay focused and keep on the straight and narrow y’know. 😉

check the model # on the side of the crankcase and tell us what you found

Yeah, they are highly addictice. I bought a 1967 Century WPL once to restore..

Then I got a 1960 Century LLS, a 1977 Silver Century WSPC and a 1952 102 AC.. And I’m constantly looking for more seagulls! So, beware of this severe addiction 😯 😀

Thanks, I picked it up for a winter shop project…will give me something to do once I weather out of my hot-weather hobby, antique JD garden tractors and home/landscaping around the place. WWIII with a big buck briar patch is about to be cleaned up…once that is done, I can get back into the shop with the 2-cycle motors.
