Well.......

I dragged out Sunny yesterday with a view to cleaning him up and perhaps selling him on.... :ohno:

Not been started for 4 years, needed to replace the Facet fuel pump (which worked for about 15 secs then died) and once it had primed the fuel bowl, started as well as ever.

When I say 'as well as ever', I mean turn over for about 8 secs, then wait, then turn over for another 8 secs, wait, then try again and he should go 'pffffftt.' Then turn over for a sec and 'ROARRRRR'

Now in a dilemma, do I sell now, or store him away 'til next year and get out and enjoy him again?

Definately keep it! Unless you plan on not using it. Then sell, so it can get on the road.

Looks lovely. Provided you've got somewhere to keep it and don't need the cash I wouldn't sell :)

Cheers
