I haven't done too much with the engine lately. I did dismantle the fuel pump and clean it out of this real nasty brown gritty sludge, God knows what had happened here. Similarly I broke down the carburetter and again found it completely clogged with sludge. I did have a lucky moment when I used a can of compressed air to blow the fuel line out and inadvertently launched the cut off valve across the garage. By some miracle I found it and that saved the price of a new carb (and a lot of tears).
But the big news is I finally bit the bullet and ordered up the engine rebuild kit. Let the spending commence.
