Fuelpumps!

240 died.. sick fuel pump at 350,000km .. suppose it had a right.. at least it did it in front of the house rather than 500km from the nearest spare parts. Of course I have no 240 pumps at home at present.. Then phone call from up north.. Car won't start. 144. well at least its mechanical. soo into the shed.. out with one and into the post office.. Yes darling it's on it's way. Just hope it rally is the problem...
Hmmmmm we will see how her trip home goes..

Winter has lifted if it ever came.
Dusted of the Claude B for the commute to work.
We see how we go.
Feeling a bit bloted after a layoff due to colds and weather.
Always make a good excuse.

Little things like hoses

Robin drove our 144 (74) to the little house up north in Muttaburra. It had new supension. New UV joints. A recoditioned unleaded head with new valves and seats. But... a old bottom end.. Should have expected trouble but she made it with a little mre under body oil than we had hoped! Rear oil seal was not.. Crank was pressurising. Engine breathers were on as per before but it was the wrong way round. The crank is ment to vent to the airfilter case not the stupid PCV valve.
Maybe it will be better on the way back.
We'll see.
