Re: Duffy's Streetfighter Project

Re: Duffy's Streetfighter Project
A bit more progress today, cleaned painted and fitted the right hand radiator I got from Mac.
Filled up with coolant and put some petrol in the tank and tried to start her up.
It turned over but no sign of life and then the battery died.
Put battery on charge and wheeled her back into the Duffcave.
Question, should fuel tap be set to on or prime? I set it to on. AlsoI had a spark but wasn’t the best tbh

Re: Duffy's Streetfighter Project
That's been sitting a while so fuel system is possibly a bit clogged up.

Unless the tap is blocked I guess.

Re: Duffy's Streetfighter Project
Try turning the fuel tap off. Then undo the float bowl drain plug.
See of any fuel comes out.
If not, it's not flowing and you need to check that the vac tap is operating properly.
But before that, check plugs to make sure it isn't flooded.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Duffy's Streetfighter Project
The trouble is I'm about fussy about things like that, I can't help it being in the building trade
A friend of ours had a new expensive kitchen fitted (not by me I hasten to add). The first time I laid my eyes on it they were drawn immediately to the wall tiles above the cooker hob, they weren't level
I didn't have the heart to saying anything to her as she had not long lost her husband, and she was delighted with it,
Chris.

I’m the same Chris, I have CDO it’s like OCD but it’s alphabetically correct
