pulled my carby apart and cleaned it because i was driving up the melba highway to kinglake and she died. stupidly i didn't have any tools so i had to get a tow home. was lots of grit and muck in the carby. fitted a new fuel filter and a few bits of new fuel line.

runs much much better now.

well after 3 months of whinging and bitching about the door/windows rubbers, i finally got the glass back in both doors now :D !

A little bit dodgy looking in spots (they were a bastard to line up in the passenger side!) but as long as people ignore it when they see it, I'm good :lol: !

Now to fix 10 mm gap in passenger door when closed...................... :roll: !


dodgy looking door line up-FIXED :D !

10mm gap-FIXED :D :D !

Its amazing what persistance and a lot of swearing can do :oops: :lol: !

Refitted the MED balancer to the 1412 yesterday with a longer bolt, Loctite 262 on the bolt and the crank nose.

Now the 1360 motor can come out, once I get a round tuit. They are hard to get though... :lol:
