Got a couple of new manifold gaskets for the Weber and put it on. Cables not attached yet but it goes. MY GOD it seriously sucks in some air when the secondary kicks in. Just got to get a longer choke cable and do some adjustment then it should be good to go.

Drove the 1412 stroker down to Mini King and back, about 2 hour run total. No probs except an oil leak from the (new belt drive kit) timing case... that'll teach me to use a 20yo seal won't it! It was `new' (in kit) though... :roll:

Drove it to work because the starter died in the daily. I will replace the starter tomorrow and then hopefully sell the car, because I'm driving the mini as a daily again :lol: :lol:
