Default All hail the Grinch

Well, having had to get my finger out after having it firmly wedged up my backside for months (and months) my tax reminder came through for Roger (my luvly, if a bit neglected sv)...

'Bugger', I thought so I booked his MOT. (which had run out back in Sept so he'd been gathering dust in my garage since then)

ArtyLady came along with us for the ride (yay!) and we stopped off to put fresh petrol in.

Grincheh!! He's running beautifully!
(Grinch came 'round and swapped his carbs for mine many many months back)

So, this is just a HUGE thankyou to Grinch.

(btw, we'll need to sort out what we're doing... If my old carbs are fixable or if I'll need to buy new or what...)


All hail the Grinch!

Wow... that was a while ago, but no problem, happy to help. I haven't had time to sort your old carb's as I've been trying to fix the head lights (last think I did was cook them in the oven) and last week I was swearing at the carbs in Helga as they have been letting in to much air. I know what the problem is I just need to take them off again.

Hopefully we'll see you on Roger at the AR....

Remind me what had been replaced in them and then hopefully once my house move is sorted I can pull them apart and sort them propper like.
