That's great thanks! I have one in mint condition sitting in my bedroom. Going to get it out this year for sure. Can you imagine trying to market a motor like this now?? Ha! All those exposed moving parts! It'd be a lawyers wet dream...
Nice rebuild and a first puller which they all are capable of being if properly set up. Only one very important thing missing, a lanyard! Slightly worried at the lack of smoke though, what ratio is it set up for?
Nice engine you have there! I have just brought my grandpa's old seagull back to life and looking for a boat for it. What is the length of the boat you have in this video?
That video was Extreamly therapeutic just watching that engine sing along.
That's purring along nicely
wonderful little engines, simple, reliable and unburstable.
They were pretty popular with New Zealand boaties back in the day, and certainly had a distinctive sound on the water...
Kevin Sims yeah mate I took mine out last summer on the tender and on my trailer sailer. Should have seen the looks I got from the oldies!

Thanks for the video. Yours shows what a Seagull can be - a fine running little outboard in proper tune - not a smoking neglected POS

Not much smoke coming from exhaust, hope you are not running 30:1 , 10:1 for seagulls
