You are correct, the vehicle is Left hand drive with a bench seat. I do believe the ONLY modification is the seat. I know my grandfather reupholstered the seat. I do not know if the bench seat was standard or if it was made after. The vehicle is all Original otherwise.
So, Update.
Yesterday I got the new Spark plugs.
Pulled out the old ones which looked BLACK and looked to be Gapped out to .030-.034.
I Put a couple drops of mystery oil in each cylinder. Gapped the new plugs out to about .024 and tested each plus for spark against the crank case.
So I confirmed i had spark.
Next I retested the fuel pump by hooking up a small line into a cup of fuel and manually priming. No draw from the cup and no fuel filling the bowl or exiting.
So, the pump is not pumping ! Either the diaphragm is toast or it’s all clogged up.
I filled the carburetor bowl directly and gave her a crank.
She fired up and ran for 20 seconds! The Best 20 seconds in weeks!
I have a video of it running but it won’t let me upload it.
So now i just need to find the proper rebuild kit for the pump, with diaphragm and gaskets.
