Sorry Ben, only just found this! Hope you, your brother and William got home ok the other night

Ok the update for now...in need of changing the throttle and choke cables, so Dad undid them (carb end) and for some reason took out the bolt which you thread your throttle cable into...then lost it down the back of the engine Went along to Austin Watts (previously Dorchester Mini Centre) and got another...Dad has fitted everything back together this afternoon, only to find that the engine now won't fire!

Any suggestions - greatly appreciated!

Home safe and sound as always.

You may get a done of texts from me all saying the same thing, My brother on the way down tried to respond to you and it kept saying message failed but still took credit FFS. So dont know what has happened there. Hope your all sorted for M2M.

Ben

Won't be going on M2M this year after all, I can't book the day off of work, hoping to make Castle Combe though.......


Still no joy with getting the 1275 running with the new carb

Again, engine still isn't running...worrying it's 180 out

[Heather&Henrietta]

Right! Not had internet the past few weeks so here's the update.

Engine was 180 out...Sorted. Got her running - trottle cable just needed swapping and the exhaust tightening up. Swapped throttle...sorted. Running well bar the exhaust.

Yesterday...got 700yrds up the road, could hardly breathe despite the windows open, thanks to the exhaust, and she was popping and banging...timing has slipped again

Situation now...trying to find someone local with a timing light
