First I finished cleaning up my new,to me, headers and they came out pretty good with just a quick rub down with some Scotch-brite

Then I pulled the Gillis rear sets out of the box they have been sitting in for the last year and swapped out the bearings and got them ready to go.

So at least I got something done today..... :angel:

Carlos Carburettor Man came down today to get stuck into the VRF, carb's were well manky, but several cups of super strong coffee & several fags later...

Also ripped the alarm off just in case that was the issue...

Still wouldn't start. Checked the fuel pump which was pumping fuel when I checked it the other week, is now not pumping... :thumbdown:


Oh well nevermind.

Thanks for the great help today Carl, you is a star Mate. :thumbup:

No worries Mac. Just a shame it didn't start. I was hoping to hear it running.

Yes I did check it about 4 weeks ago having read your comment & it was pumping fine, today we checked it again & it did not pump. M'laud.
