Ziebart - my car is covered in that stuff. If you weld near it then it becomes indistinguishable from napalm.. |

Thanks everyone! I'm going to have a go at starting her today. Compression is low, but I suspect the rings are gummed up a bit and I may have a tight valve. A heat cycle will help free everything off. |

Think the puddle is probably just from getting in and out in the rain! It's right where your feet go! Steve |

It's been raining here for over a day and the inside of the car is bone dry, Steve's right. Must have been where I was getting in and out. |

This morning I received the V5 in my name (showing one previous owner) so am happy to get going. I always hold off until the V5 comes through just in case there are any issues. Time to start getting some parts together, I have done this before so it shouldn't be difficult! |

Do be making sure the speedo and rev counter are straightened up. Just a pet hate of mine. |

That's because your bleed screw is below the inlet on the slave. If you reverse them it will bleed more easily. When I do 1850's I just run a rubber pipe from the bleed screw venting into the master reservoir. Few pumps soon has all the air out. You'll know next time.... though I have often mentioned this trick before. Its sooooo cool when you do it first time... Jonners |

Do you know what, I didn't even think of that. I love learning new things! I have to disconnect it when the engine comes out to do the welding properly so I'll remember that. Thanks for the top tip Jonners! |
