The Works Commence...

Over the past week or so, little jobs have been done here and there.

Firsty, the carbs where rebalanced, which makes her run a lot smoother than before but still not perfect.. we then tuned up the concentrations, making the air to fuel ratio better. Again running even better but still not perfect.

Finally after a long run to MK and back the source of the lumpyness and cuttin out problem has become clear..Fuel starvation..After further investigation it becomes clear that a new fuel pump is needed as the current one is all old and not functioning correctly.
Now after fitting the new one she runs alot better, no more cuttin out and no more lumpy idling.

With the more important tasks out of the way, I set to tereating the rust with some treatment gel. Once that was all done restoring it back to metal, with the addition on some P38 and a little P40 I filled the wholes and then left it to all set and harden.
Next, with my handfull of sandpaper I rubbed at all the spots and a little of thier surroundings before finally applying a coat or two of Hammerite "Over Rust" paint.

And thats where this weeks summary ends. With a smooth running but patchwork car...
