British Seagull

[David Jenkins]

Just picked up a British Seagull #SJPL  122C in very good shape and running.  Questions are, can someone help me identify the make and year?  Also, Where would I go to get a vintage decal for this motor?

Thanks!

Hi David
The website “Saving old Seagulls” will have all the info you are after
and should be able to provide info where to get a vintage decal.

The two British Seagulls I’ve owned used a 10:1 fuel mix and required hard to find 140W oil in the gearbox, or a home brewed mixture of grease and oil I would cook up to resemble 140W.  Mind you, these were the larger Silver Century Plus models with a clutch and the smaller motors might use regular 80-90 gear oil. Not sure. I think the newer models went to 25:1 mix to. Also, if they don’t leak out of the crankcase joint, something’s wrong!

Here’s a link to the Seagull site:
