British Seagull replacement cdi module

[GUY SCHMIDT]

It seems that many of our repair parts are getting hard if not impossible to find for our old motors. Take for instance the

Mark 3 or 4 cdi module for the British Seagulls. Does anyone out there know of a swap with some manufacturers ignition module ( mower, chain saw, etc… ) that is proven to work

on these electronic ignition Seagulls ? I would be forever in your debt !

I  believe you would need to send yours to the UK and get a rebuilt one in return.  Contact SOS (saving Old seagulls)

Or to me the best ignition for seagulls is the Mark 2 version.  Pretty much bulletproof.  What engine are you working on?

One is a 1981 ESC coded Silver Century and a 1982 EFNR coded Silver Century both being 102 cc.

I read that Sheridan Marine will refurbish/repair your mark 2 coil but to my knowledge there is no one

who repairs the cdi units. And you cannot buy new ones.

[Michael Anfossi]

Well I would give John a try at SOS.

have you actually asked Sheridan if they will supply the CDI units on an exchange basis?

Failing that I would get the complete mark 2 ignition system and be done with it.

I do have spare mark 3 and 4 ignitions, some supposedly new or rebuilt, but I do not really trust them to be reliable.

Well, after more exploring my options it seems some guys have opted to find coils from

other brands that can fit. This might not be a bad idea since the Seagull units are sealed in epoxy and difficult to redue.

Also you can then get access to the condenser. So, the million dollar question, have any of you heard a coil name whispered

that you can share?

No idea on replacement CDI unit for the mark 3 or4

Asi said, the easiest thing to do is install a complete  mark 2 ignition.
