I got this running today
I was surprised it ran at all
Having not been on the road since 1994 allegedly,
Though it was garaged
Removed the very flat battery,
Checked for spark and fitted a random spark plug,
edit: there was no plug in it, I think the owner had removed it recently.
Air box inlet pipe removed,
A squirt of brake cleaner,
And it fired after 3 or 4 kicks
Vacuum fuel tap flushed through
Fuel pipes flushed through,
Carb stripped, cleaned,
Crumbling foam air filter removed,
Now running and ticking over,
Ready to be moved on by the owner.
