Are you going to dip her tyres in some water on the 6th, Jordan?

Possibly, but if I do it will be close to home.

Well the DDay drive didn’t happen due to some home renovations going on. But it did go for a small drive yesterday. There is some ongoing timing and hard starting issues that will be looked at this week.

Timing issues have all been sorted out thanks to the assistance of another MLUer. Turns out the main issue is that the securing bolt for the distributor had come loose and the whole unit spun out of timing. The carburetor also seems to be running a bit rich and will be looked at in due time.

Now onto the latest task. Wood working for making the WS19 battery boxes. A lot of new skills are being learned in the past day but thankfully the internet has some awesome tutorials on jig making. One thing to say.....I can’t believe the mess working with wood makes.

Makes good mulch or compost for the garden, Jordan.
