Phil I have a bit to do but I will do my best.

The old girl cranked over the other day and spun freely.

No fuel but allowed some lubrication to moisten the veins in her heart.

The next day I had a good tutorial with Clive that made more sense as I am getting more aware of Humber facts instead of Land Rover.

Few jobs next time may be gravity fed fuel delivery after the re-install of plugs blast cleaned by Clives friend 'Wally'. Nice piece of kit .

I need to remove, inspect and replace as required fuel filter. Drop old fuel that is circa 10 years old and flush tanks through. At least fuel is liquid and not varnish! The carb will be given a good health check and overall too. Probably refurbished before fitting.

I also want to splash some rust protectant paint on a few patches to prevent any damage short term damage using Deproma! Good product
