I've only cleaned mine. True dedication (or the disease is terminal) has you out in the workshop.

I'll email some drawings for the bits you need. You can borrow the aerial bits if you want to copy them.

Default Well done Ritchie!

It was a pleasure to meet you on site and see the results of all your work.

It was great to get a ride in, and I hope those video shots came out, the carrier is not a good platform for filming on the move!

I never asked if the fuel valve solved the issue. How is it going?
In the antipodes we all use outboard motor hand primers to get the fuel up to the pump prior to start up after a long period in the shed.

Best wishes for the final fit out of the carrier. It looks great already.

Rob

Since you, Lynn, kiwi Shaun and I stripped the pump down and rebuilt it, it hasn't missed a beat ! Took her for a spin today still not 100% happy with the steering and brakes, so will check it over tomorrow and adjust where needed.
