If I recall correctly, Seagull's used 16:1 gas to oil mixture. I recall seeing lots of them on sailboat tenders and that they smoked a bunch and were very noisy. In any case, they are a very old design.

10:1 - Most British Seagulls use this ratio. If you have a pre 1979 engine, the fuel mix will be 10:1 UNLESS it was converted to run on 25:1. <br />25:1 -Newer 1979 and newer seagulls with black thumb lever throttles and black carb bodies use the 25:1 mix. <br />50:1 -Newer seagulls ONLY with the twist grip throttles work on 50:1. I have some reservations about recommending the 50:1 mix. <br />Well this is what that site said , and can't find 16:1 anywhere.
