A few of the go compare the confused meerkat sites appear to no longer recognise registrations that are more than 25 years old. When Ed bought the C3 I tried to transfer the insurance onto the MG B. "Sorry Sir, we only insure cars up to 25 years old". It's reg doesn't show on some sites, but others it does. 1 Cavcraft reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cavcraft 88,875 Report post Posted May 29 Whilst idly waiting round to hear back from some shite I've been chasing for three or four days, I had a half-arsed bashed at the FB today. Tried the fuel tap after disconnecting pipe from carb, nothing came out at all. Took tap off, filter (I assume) was blocked, so removed it thinking it can’t be too hard to get another. Still no flow, so poked a small cable tie through and now juice is coming through! Got the tank off, tipped out a couple of litres or so of absolutely minging petrol, the colour of stale urine, so flushed it out. Tried bump starting it, some relatively close calls but not quite enough. Took the plug out (see picture) and wiped it but wasn’t much different from the picture, which was after a quick clean. Got a spark, so plug back in and multiple efforts in cheap skate trainers kicking it over. Mention them as foot kept slipping which didn’t help. Anyhow if I repeatedly kick it over (using throttle mostly but not always) and tickling the plunger it does try and start, but we’re talking every sort of 7th or 8th kick, or so. I’m fairly confident it’s not too far off starting now, my money is on whatever cruddy old petrol is in carb. Will be lazy and try and get it going without taking carb off tomorrow, weather permitting. The plug didn't really smell very much of petrol if at all. Meanwhile, any reasoned or logical reason it’s only trying to fire every few kicks, or do people agree it’s probably the fuel? There's a couple of mini-bodges but can live with them, the missing nearside foot peg needs replacing though, can't see that being hard to find. I also painted on the reg number on the plate either side, ala 1960's style. It looks quite crap, but for once this was deliberate. 1 Alanism reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
