Well 3 hours in and I’ve reached the point where The home brew came out and I’m sitting catching the sun on the patio.
First step was draining oil from the sump.
It looked ok so it went back in and there was hardly shite left in the container so I’m happy enough with that.
Next step was clean the almost new strainer but to be honest it didn’t need it though it’s better to put it back knowing it’s good.
The plugs came out for a clean and again, they weren’t bad but they went back in looking clean and giving big blue sparks.
I put a couple of litres of petrol in, gave it a whiff of easy start in the filter and tried to start it...
Nope. It fired but wouldn’t catch and I suspect it’s that old favourite of gummed up carbs. Fuel is getting to them but when I try to prime them nothing comes out. Bastard!
At that point I decided to re-connect the front indicators where the cable ends had been squashed and broken off by the block connectors I used (lazy bastard) so they’ve now got crimped ferrules and the indicators work.
I’ll go back to it later but right now it’s a nice sunny afternoon so I’m sitting catching some rays on my skinny white legs and chilling out with a beer
I fucking hate that Notrun
