Hey, I'll get there but will be later. Cheers

Cheers guys and useful input. After sitting so long the fine nylon filter was varnished closed, in fact the whole sender unit was just a block of dirt and gunk. I cleaned it all up and also all the loose stuff in the tank, but who knows what was in the lines even after flushing and blowing out. I di...

I've taken Eliza to a couple of garages in Kapiti now and have been told how long is a piece of string......... The old girl's going OK 50% of the time, the rest she lacks power and hunts really badly at idle.....stalled twice. I turn her off and then on again and she starts and idles fine..... Now ...
