Well had to work today but got over to the workshop after work.

So far with the engine I have changed the diaphragm, got the carb piston working nicely, screwed in the mixture screw as far as it can go, new air filter, new coil, new spark plugs and leads, new fuel filter, new fuel pump, checked timing and went for a spin with my wife and dog today. Well night and day, got to 60 and it just wanted to keep revving. Very windy and on a back road but up to 85 and was still going. Then a couple of times on the way home too on the dual carriageway way but wife wasn’t impressed so slowed down. She is no speed demon but much better. I still have a new needle and adjustable jet to fit.

Got new door locks and seals to fit along with rust proofing. Then it will be the suspension and steering.
