Decided to tackle some blistering on top of rear wing, so had the remove rear quarter panel to remove. Perhaps it's because my world has been MGs, but removing anything fills me with trepidation, as my past experience always uncovered rot. Seeing this has made my day!
Just back from a Highland tour. First trip further than a couple hours from home. Carb overflowed again, out the blue. This time I adjusted the float height a little, and all was well thereafter (though I can't recommend the side of the A9 for such matters). Still, practice makes perfect ...... Off and back on in 45 mins. Stopped in at a friend's, and as a precaution fitted the new fuel filter I had bought. Which led to the reserve tap leaking. So fitted new o-ring (thanks Geoff at Wins!). Old o ring was totally shot, waiting to happen. All good. Though roadsides and friends garages are pushing the term rolling restoration a bit far perhaps, nonetheless, my wife remains patient with the madness!
