It's drivable!! So happy 😀

I took of the clutch cover, and see that the flywheelbolt is touching the diaphragm (see pic), so i took off the flywheel, and then the stupidity reveals it self..... !I HAVE PUT THE CLUTCHPLATE THE WRONG WAY!.....
So i got everything sorted out and now the clutch is perfect!
Well not perfect, it's going to be replaced someday, flywheel and pressureplate have some spots and needs replacing in the future, then the arm, plunger, Rod and all pins going to be replaced :)

Glad you got the clutch sorted.

 

I like that starter motor, I think I'm going to have to start saving for one!

[Aasnes1]

Can't get it to run right, as soon it's warm it start to missfire and stalls, have checked everything except valve clearence and carb adjustment, so thats next:)

Got the brakes working again, left rear brake cylinder was stuck, but i got it loose again with some force!

Got my new vintage licenceplate, and love it! Allso got the second bonnetstrap on.

Gave the car a good clean and got some nice pictures of it!









Need to shorten in the exhaust a bit!

The starter is the best upgrade i have done can't compare it with the old one in any way! Much smaller allso:)

You are right! And it`s done! :)

 Very nice sound! You should do a video when driving it.

 

Also, what have you put on your headlights to give them that effect we see on the pics? Photoshop?

[Aasnes1]

Thank you, i will when i get it to run right:)

No, they are like that, bought them here:http://www.minispare...ssic-mini-pair/

[Aasnes1]

finally got it to run OK, the valve/tappets clearance was too tight! so i adjusted them to 0.40mm and i allso adjusted the carb.

when i did that i got to set the timing, i set it at 12 degree at 1000rpm, and it`s runnin ok, but i need to change the needle in carb, it is worn and a little bit bent. have allso ordered a service kit for the carb :) i hope that fixes the small "missfire" when i accelerate.
