Good news! It’s running, as sweet as a nut after about 7 years!

[Sam-Kit car dreams]

Not been started for at least 7 years (I think) and it’s now running! I am so pleased 

 

Changed the oil, coolant and drained the old fuel out. 

 

Oil looked a bit second hand and the old fuel was brown !

 

Flushed the fuel tank and fuel lines through with some fresh fuel cranked it with the fuel pipe off, reconnected them, it turned over about three times and fired  

 

Tomorrows job is get the brakes working again and find reverse as I can’t remember where it is  all forward gears are selectable though.

Brilliant!

 

If it’s a Type 9 gearbox, reverse is forward and to the left of first, an MT75 is back, below fifth.
