Petrol
Next up was to put some petrol back in the tank, and pressurise the
pipes. This revealed leaks at all the screw joints on the pump and
regulator. Tightening them excessively seemed to cure it, but I wasn't
happy with that as a long term solution. Anyway, everything was in
place to try to start her up for the first time in at least a couple
of years, and after only a small amount of cranking she did indeed
start!
She obviously wasn't happy to be woken from her hibernation though and
proceed to spit and backfire and generally behave badly. But at least
she ran. And the was as far as I got before putting her to bed whilst
I went down south to play jazz over the weekend.
