Robert,
Thanks for responding.
I discovered the wicking on my shaft after posting. It had 90+ years of gunge that stopped the oil flowing.
I managed to clear things with penetrating fluid and a football inflator poked in the oiler attached to a foot pump.
After fitting the gear supplied by a forum member, I am pleased to report that the Chummy started readily this afternoon.
Didn’t hear anything from Boris today about using our old cars, but we plan to!
Cheers
Alan
