I haven't driven the ORT for a week or two so decided it would be good to give it a run. Having pumped up a flat tyre (a job for tomorrow no doubt) and primed the carburettor by pumping for an eternity, I pulled the starter... oh dear. They don't like to be left standing... a few pathetic turns later, I tried the handle and she sprang into life. So apart from air, fuel and sufficient voltage for a good spark it was all good!
Still... chip shop runs just aren't the same in the modern and she didn't need any help for the journey home.
Next job is to rebuild a rear axle (when I can find a suitable rear outer hub. I'm sure I have some somewhere) oh no... next but one. Just need to find the repair kit. [Insert eyes up at the ceiling emoji]
