None of these parts include P&P, as owners often put together a wish list of parts. Minimum P&P £1.50, but charges generally kept as low as I can. I have added a few sample P&P prices for guidance.
(Use a smear of RTV sealant both sides with all head gaskets! Tighten finger tight only and allow 2 hours to set before final hard hand pressure tightening. ) here
Seagulls learn, remember and even pass on behaviours, such as stamping their feet in a group to imitate rainfall and trick earthworms in to coming to the surface.

I have a 40plus British seagull, which the last time i started it did not pump water through the telltale. Do they have impellers or do they rely on moving through the water to draw it into the cooling system? Is there anything I can do to make sure it is OK as I intend to use it as an auxillary.
As others have said the impeller rarely causes any problems because it does not wear. more

If you are running in a tank or bin make sure the pump is fully immersed and because in those situations the turbulence can stop the pump working properly take the prop off. more
As said above, bulletproof. more
I am sure no one else would make this mistake but. I put the hose up the wrong hole (exhaust) and only realized when water came gushing out the carb! No real harm though: dried the plug on my shirt and it started 4th or 5th pull.
Resist that natural urge to do a "total breakdown and rebuild" of your seagull as nine times out of ten it won't need it. Each year I talk customers out of buying several thousand dollars worth of parts because they really don't need them. Aduhhh and I wonder why I have an empty piggy bank. But I sleep well at nights! here
Oopps I did it again. Update August 26th 2005
Then look inside the gas tank. What does it smell like? Old gas has a sickening smell and if you smell this - you pretty much know that the fuel system will need cleaning. There are two filters in seagulls - one in the banjo fitting which goes into the carb and one in the tank going into the fuel tap. Dump the old gas and mix up a fresh batch in the proper mix. Pre 1979 engines used a 1:10 fuel mix. From 1979 a 25:1 mix was used. Bing carbs used in 1978 and 1979 also are 25:1 carbs. To clean your fuel system methodically go thru each part of it with carb cleaner- don't forget the filters and take care with them as they can be cleaned. Clean the carb. Don't loose any fittings and don't over torque anything. here
( NOTE HP RATINGS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS )
Allow yourself a few hours of use to become familiar with your seagull before taking it on long trips. If the engine has not been run for years there may be a few small bugs to work out. Its a simple engine but like anything mechanical it requires a minimum amount of maintenance to ensure the great dependability these motors are capable of. here
