Fitted the repaired (with a reserve pipe now) fuel tap to Chitti (AG). put about a gallon in & it ran on the "non reserve" pipe (using the tap inside the car) However it stopped quite soon, so I put in a "bit" more & set off to get the paper 3 miles away.
Whereupon it started raining! The wipers work though!
On the way back it went all spluttery so I pulled out the Reserve Tap and off she went! So now I know the reserve on this car is about a gallon!
Now to find out why the ammeter doesn't show a charge, but the battery is getting 8 or so volts. The points are open at the cut out....hmm. When closed it shows a dead short on the ammeter.....
I do not have empathy these switch panels. (see earlier post about the '27 Chummy!)
