On the weekend I cleaned up the carby, removed the main jet and idle screw, pulled the top off. Blew all the ports etc out with air and wiped out the residue of petrol.
I also removed the fuel pump and cleaned it up, made sure that the pumping action worked, so that meant that I did not have too split the two sections.
Blew out the fule lines to ensure there was no blockage.
When I put the truck together, it was easier to put the fuel pump on the engine and have it all together as a running assembly in an engine frame, this time round, with the cabin in the way it was a bugger. Also, I think the truck may have shrunk a little over time as it was a little tighter to fit between the front wheen and the chassis......
All together now, may use the Command Car as a slave start (it is 6V) if time permits over Christmas.
