British Seagull outboard motor for sale
A part restored and working 4.5hp outboard motor is now for sale.
The Castrol EP 140 gear oil is ex stock while unsold.
As you can see the motor is quite good right now.
It will restore very nicely I think.
It has the gear, which is really a clutch, to reverse you just swing the motor around.
This motor will push quite a large boat.
It has never been in sea water as I found it on the Vaal Dam.
Regards
Roy

Price would be R6000 as it is now and R7750 with the required parts stripped and repainted, exports are fine, Vat @ 14% for RSA residents etc. For USA buyers we are talking of only U$650 and repainted.

HP | 4-4.5 |

The Villiers Carb was used on all these models, the same carb on 102 cc and 64cc, no difference? How that works no one has ever explained, but it does make it easier to swop carbs about! | |

Testing times for British Seagull engines part two
Not quite just yet but with a customer in Pretoria placing his order for a restoration of his 1973 British Seagull 5hp motor, I can see Justin and myself having another go at testing the old against the new out board motors.
Check those old British Seagull engines, we also have a February 1974 smaller engine to test now as well, at 2 to 3 hp output I bet it will surprise us all.
This one has been serviced and is for sale.

Note, we wore PFDs for the actual test.

British Seagull outboard restoration
This motor should have been out of here some months back but the replacement petrol tank from the UK has yet to arrive, we have a postal strike in South Africa, I assume that is the problem?
To have the motor ready for the customer I removed a tank of a spare motor, only to find and after I resprayed it that the fuel exit is on the opposite side of the tank, which means I have fitted the tank back to front.

Check the pin next to the flywheel, that is one of the two grounding pins on the back of the tank for allowing you to rest the motor on hard ground.
Not the worst problem I suppose?
