Or “If it ain’t broke then don’t mend it.” I refer to of course to your comment on the fact it is pulling like a tractor. I would however do something about that stripped thread.A very good point John. I'm glad I took it apart to fit my spare baseplate as it turns out that the other thread insert was about to give up and the plate was badly cracked. Frankly I'm amazed it ran at all. The carb has had a good clean again and I cleaned up a spare bowl at the same time. I want to get my confidence in the car up and the Ruby into a state where I can drive it off to Essex to see my mum (and perhaps the bongtree club) from home in Exeter.
I checked the auto-advance whilst I was there in the dizzy and it all seemed pretty good. I'm seriously thinking of an electronic dizzy instead and keeping this one in the box as a spare.
