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

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.
