Lots of goodies and £££s!
I've been spending lots of money (comparitively speaking) on the bug
in the run up to the Coventry Run. I fitted a new carburettor, which
originally made it run extremely badly until I swapped the jets back
from the old one (who knows what were fitted in the new one, not the
correct jets for a 1600!) but now after adjustment of the accelerator
pump to max to get rid of the '009 flat spot' she runs much better.
Dismantling the starter motor, cleaning it up and refitting it did not
cure the dicky hot-start problem, so I replaced that with a recon one.
And I finally got the VDO oil temp and pressure gauges and senders
I've been promising myself for 10 years!

Since the MOT just ran out I have to wait until Friday to get it
renewed (only done 1000 miles this year so hoping to sail through) and
give her a good test drive!
