Nice Huw, good to let your car out for some fresh air
I took mine out of storage last week to fettle with it on my driveway. Replaced the choke cable, ran a wire for splitting my brakes/indicators, replaced a flasher unit, got my indicators working and changed the gasket on the cam cover.
The engine was leaking from the gasket, turned out all but one of the cover bolts were loose! Sorted now though. Shout out to Huw for hooking me up with a new gasket, worked a treat.
Found a leak at the top of the rad, so I plan to take it off and get it re-cored. Also replace the fan and while we're at it, the water pump while I've got access to the front of the engine.
Been really fun, learning how it all works during the lockdown. Has kept me busy and kept my mind working.
Next is balancing the carbs and see how I can get the voltages up (showing 7v dc at the rear lights, new wire shows 9v)
