What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Today I finally got the RL fired up and running as it should.  After 25 years of trouble free running it got in a sulk when I  moved house last August and has refused all efforts to start.   I put the problem down to stale petrol, the distributor, tired battery, and anything else I could think of!  The main problem was the distributor, a Lucas DK4. Having messed about with two other similar units I achieved a healthy spark about a centimetre long, even with the tired battery.  The engine fired up immediately and sounded good.  A short trip to Thirsk and back has restored my faith in the little car.  Next job is to check for a noisy tappet.
