  1. Canuck,

     

    In your Canadian kit, who are you badged up as ?? Reason for asking, when not vehicle based, I portray an O/R in the Hastings And Prince Edward Regt, during the sicilly and italian campaigns; (which really gets the 'blanco boys', going,........canadians did not blanco their webbing,.............heheheheheheheh.............)

     

     

    As for all the ageism talk, Hmm,..............gotta brithday fast approaching, but I'm still in the 'naughty forties',............... :tup:

     

     

    Anyways, isn't the saying, ' you've only as old as the person your feeling,'.............or summat like that.......................... :whistle:

  2. Cheers for all suggestions, All.

     

    Not been near terminal before tonight, to respond.

     

    Well, today, got her running,.........after checking/changing seemingly everything, without total sucsess, decided to bite the bullet and buy 6 new plugs.

     

    It started,...............and more importantly, ran....................... :banana:

    Now to sort out a bit of an air leak, on induction side,....causing her to pop and bang, a little; Then out and learn the joys of double declutching................. :-D

  3. Clive and Richard.

    Good fuel in both tanks, admitidly, only about 3 galls in passenger side, and that on top of stuff that was already there.

    Tap is push pull,

     

    Have had all jets out today, blown through clear. Gauze filters were found to be clean.

     

    Cheers Guys.

  4. Richard, many thanks for your thoughts, I'd already wondered about that, myself, so have run a seperate lead from positive side of battery to coil, isolating switch.

    No difference........................ :?

     

    A recap of stuff tried today,..............petrol down plug holes,.....it fired on 3-4 and spluttered out. Making me think, OK, its used the fuel at plugs, as when I removed them they were not that wet,..................replaced then and wound her over, not firing at all,..........checked plugs, fuel there...............checked spark, in distributor, at points, a spark there on the low tension side,..........sparks at plugs against engine.

     

    Really got me foxed,......................if it had been someone else who said they'd driven it in, by now I'd have been doubting them.................

    To recap, I drove it off transporter into cover, a distance of approx 150 yards, then started it next day, moved 10 foot backwards, and ran out of juice. This was around 5 weeks ago.....................

     

    Frustration is not the word,...........here.

     

    Again, thanks for all replies.

     

    Andy
