Hi Malcolm

Isn’t this just perfect weather for getting out and about?  Liz and I did our regular Dambusters circuit of the Elan valley.  Just superb motoring! Sorry I’ve shown this view before but…….

Cheers

Howard

Glorious pic. Thanks Howard!

I did about 60 miles out in the Ruby today. It was interesting.

After a couple of hours at the Punch Bowl at Marton cum Grafton I headed to a relative in York and then daughters near York, before a drive home with the sun setting.

Driving out to Marton on A roads and smaller roads I usually drive about as fast as I can in order to not annoy the speedster two inches behind, but today I went more leisurely. Between 35 and 38 mph the traffic behind seemed no different to if I drive at 42 ish. So leisurely seemed better.

In York the poor seven bounced about on what seemed like millions of speed bumps. Mental note, don't drive in York, go somewhere else.

Later, driving home my wife suggested sticking to the main roads, instead of the usual route home from daughters along twenty miles of twisty country lanes. To my surprise the traffic on the single carriageway main A roads didn't seem too unhappy to poddle along at 36 mph. It was quite restful in the seven and much easier than the constant speeding up and down for bends and junctions on the country lanes.

An interesting day.

I put one of Tony’s heads in on the Ulster, it barks loudly and pulls hard through the gears - lovely!

For something different I went to a traction engine rally at Draycott in the Clay yesterday and found three Sevens there, they get everywhere.

I managed to run out of petrol, for the first time ever in the Seven last Tuesday. I was puzzled as the gauge still showed just over a quarter of a tank when the car stopped. Accordingly, yesterday, I had the tank unit out to investigate and found that the sweep of the float arm was rather more than the depth of the tank, which measured 6 inches from the hole where the tank unit goes, to the bottom. So, I shortened the arm to give me 5 3/4 ins sweep (so that there is still a little petrol in the tank when the gauge reads empty) by cutting the arm and rejoining the two pieces with the biggest brass screw type electrical connector I could find in my electrical bits box. The gauge now reads empty when there is about 2 pints of fuel left in the bottom.

I then went down into Bala and filled it to make sure the gauge reads full. Hopefully, I now have a petrol gauge that is more accurate.

What you need is a wing-mounted fuel can...
Excuse the shameless promotion, I still have a couple left.

Daisy and her friends out to see Murdo, the Highland Coo, at Roy Castle.

The weather is incredible!

Good lord, that makes the feral goats of Ludo look like midges!

RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Peter Naulls - 04-06-2023

I drained the tank to see if there were any clues to the ongoing rough running and backfires. A small amount of water, a lot of rust and something that looked like algae came out. Flushed through 8 or 9 times and blew the petrol pipe back from the pump. None of this debris has ever reached the pump so the tank filter must be intact ... but possibly blocked!
