some better pictures

went home to see the family for tea and spent a few hours at alans garage tinkering found out why it was struggling to start with 0.4% CO2 im not blinking suprised

so fitted the air filter, set the CO2 to 3.5 / 5% at tick over. replaced the vac advance pipe and breather hose, redid the choke cable
topped the dash pot up and what a difference now drove back on A59 / A666 to leeds

berties mental now
