I can see you are a man who loves his shed. I'm impressed you got the Villiers Mk1 ignition to run but don't use it too far away from land...that coil is old and unreliable as is the condenser. Bring a paddle. You can replace those things but it will costya. Are you missing anything? I have a collection of spares... I'm the photographer in the test run shots! My mates shed is an awesome thing, more than a couple of daft bits of kit have been created on there. The Villiers one took a few pulls to burst into life, the Wipac equipped featherweight genuinely went first pull. I think he's up together with them now but the s actively on the hunt for another, I'll let you know if he needs anything π»ππ¨π I have a 102 AC that I've sort of lost interest in - reality says I'll never use it. Its very original and also quite shiny, having been assembled from the most choice parts I came across. Its as near to new as you'll find. It has a tank that has had all the dings knocked out of it by a genius metalworker but I couldn't bring myself to paint it - its so shiny and nice. Also have a complete set of original decals. Maybe post a pic later.

@nemesis I'm like "I do have an undented exhaust tube from a seagull century for you". We'll have to wait for the social distancing thing to be relaxed before I will be able to bring it. I did think of using it as an imitation torpedo tube but I was like "it's too short" I took a photo but yeah yeah yeah I'm like "he SO needs to get a new phone camera" Anyway it's actually quite a nice item and I won't be using it.

Musical interlude Not the heavy metal rockers spanning three decades - but a pair of Pooleβs finest; a 40+ and a 40- Now before you ask; I havenβt had a severe blow to the head, @nemesis and @magnetman seem to have bad cases of Seagullitis -I definitely do not; I much prefer a good OMC two stroke, Yam of any description or a nice little Honda 4T. Why then do you have a brace of Seagulls hanging from the multipurpose activity centre? Well, to put it simply, a very good friend of mine is developing a severe case of Seagullitis, no matter how hard I tried I couldnβt help him to shake this seemingly incurable affliction. Only one thing for it, give the addict what he wants and hang the consequences. Both have issues, neither are seized, a coat of lacquer would preserve the bird shit and cobwebs for all eternity! They did however come at a very attractive price so are now hanging in my garage. Awaiting delivery to deepest darkest Wiltshire on an as yet undetermined weekend in October. I flatly refuse to lay a spanner on either of them, for fear of catching that most strange and nearly incurable diseases - Seagullitis ππ€¦πΌββοΈπ»ππ A very good pair of mudweights they are, when i lived in Scotland I had a Fletcher speed boat with a mercruiser 90hp Z drive on it a really nice boat, I have on numerous occasions towed back fishermen from the bay with mudweights for engines! Why they didnt bite the bullet and buy proper outboards I dont know, or maybe they liked being towed on the plane back to Palnackie?

Although I would only use the ones with electronic ignition and sealed gearboxes.

It's about 22 inches long Here it is on the chart table. ETA I've also still got the little clamp thing which goes at the top.

Looks to be a standard shaft item to me. But I want it...it may suit a damn-near perfect Silver Century.

It's a 3/8 aluminium rod for the inboard motor conversion on the floating electric beer drinking platform. Experimental temporary propshaft. Nothing to do with outboard motors Couple of oilite bushes on it and a piece of 7840 pipe which in theory will be the flexible coupling. And I'm like "sorry to disappoint you old chap"

I just happened to have it on the chart table.
Did seagulls have extension arms available? I'll keep an eye out for one if so.
