Bad luck! There must be something in the air today...
I have just spent the afternoon recovering the Ruby - which, for the first time in about 20 years, totally let me down. I think a timing gear may have broken as there was much spluttering and backfiring followed by a dead engine. A bit of investigation shows me that the distributor spindle is not rotating - merely twitching. Hey ho. Shall deal with it after a week away on hols.
