The Seagull was the only British engine that EVER ran right!LOL Had one, loved it!
Hope it starts! Just don't take it to Tahoe, if it does start!
Actually, it starts on the second pull. Every time. Unfortunately Seagulls are extremely dirty, much like their namesake. Next OB I buy new will be a Yamaha. I have asked around and done enough research. The Yamaha's are always on top. RT
