Wedge rescue

[flasher]

So my day today has been spent digging this out from a decade of slumber.....

Got it all loaded and away to my mates garage. Fuel pump is buggered so are the filters and battery. Fuel was rancid after 10 years. Hopefully once the parts arrive it will fire up again. 😀👍🏻

Not mine. Wife’s Dad owns it and he’s not been well for a long time hence it’s just got forgotten about. Anyway, we will get it going again for him. 👍🏻

Well, new fuel pump arrived and fuel filters, tank cleaned out, everything cleaned out! New fluids thoroughout and fabricated a new fuel pump bracket (old one pictured) after finding the old one was knackered. New battery......


And hey presto the engine is now running sweet as a nut.

Now to get all the brakes sorted and through the MOT.

Update is that everything has now been done and she’s flown through the MOT. She’s had a new fuel pump and new bracket, new fuel filter, new fuel lines and new fluids throughout. Picking her up later, be great to see it running again and have a drive especially as the weather is perfect

Well it drove home well until it got hot and then it was lumpy as anything. Now need to work out whether the coil is buggered or not.

Finally sorted. Running like a dream, and back on the road. 😁

Not bad considering it’s not moved for 10 years and has done 700 Miles in the last 17 years! Had some great people helping, Father in law who owns it is very poorly and people have made an extra effort to get it back running so he can see it on the road again. Warms the heart how kind people can be.
